CRP seed in Missouri.
Warm-season prairie and quail-buffer CRP seed for Missouri.
Missouri's CRP acres span glaciated northern uplands, Ozark border transitions, and Bootheel bottoms. We tune mixes to the state's warmer growing season and its national leadership in quail-buffer plantings.

Soil moisture zones
Northern glaciated Missouri is mesic silt-loam. Ozark border counties trend dry-mesic to droughty. Bootheel and river bottoms are wet-mesic to hydric.
When to plant in Missouri
Dormant seeding late October through early March. Missouri's warm springs mean you can push into mid-April on well-drained sites, but earlier is safer.
Program notes
Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) partners with NRCS on quail and pollinator incentives. Ask your MDC private-land conservationist about stacked payments.
Always confirm current requirements with your local USDA-NRCS and USDA-FSA field offices before ordering.
Pollinator & monarch angle
Missouri's longer growing season supports late-blooming forbs (asters, goldenrods, ashy sunflower) that extend pollinator value into October.
Missouri CRP seed FAQ
›Are Missouri's warm-season grass options different from Iowa's?
The species list is similar but ecotype matters. Missouri-sourced big bluestem and Indiangrass are better adapted to the state's warmer nights and longer summer drought windows.
