Habitat One ships food plot seed to landowners at no cost, so more ground can be put to work for wildlife. This year, that seed went into the ground across 10 states, and landowners are now sending back photos of what they grew.

How the program works

The goal is simple: remove the cost barrier so landowners who want to help wildlife can get started. Many landowners have the ground and the willingness but not the budget for seed. Free seed closes that gap.

1. A landowner requests seed through Habitat One.
2. We ship the seed directly to them, free of charge.
3. The landowner prepares the site and plants the food plot.
4. Once the plot is established, the landowner sends us photos so we can see the results.

Reach

Habitat One has shipped food plot seed to landowners in 10 states. Each shipment represents a landowner choosing to set aside ground for wildlife, and each state adds to a growing network of habitat that deer, turkey, pollinators and other species can use.

Seeing the results

We ask landowners to send photos of their food plots once they are established. Those photos show us where the seed went, how it performed, and what wildlife are using it.

The photos also help us improve the program. They show which seed works best in which regions and conditions, and they give us real examples to share with future landowners and supporters. Seeing a plot go from bare ground to green forage is the clearest proof that the program works.

A drought year

Drought hit many areas this year, and results varied. Some plots came in thick and green. Others struggled with limited rainfall and produced less forage than landowners hoped.

Even so, every plot that went in is a win. A thin stand still gives wildlife food and cover they would not have had otherwise, especially in a dry year when natural forage is scarce. Success isn’t measured only by the best-looking plots. It’s measured by landowners taking action and wildlife having something to use.

Looking ahead

We’re grateful to every landowner who planted seed and shared photos this year. If you received seed and haven’t sent photos yet, we’d love to see your plot, whatever it looks like. And if you’re a landowner interested in planting a food plot next season, reach out to Habitat One to request seed.
