What are y'all paying for seed this year? I bought a 6 way blend (no rye grass) and was wondering what everyone's cost was

I went with Buckbusters which did well last year. I think it was $55 or so.

I run the planting for my club where we plant 30 club stand plots
26.99 for Gatlin 7 way blend
34.99 for Bluff 10 way blend
Neither uses rye grass.

For my person stand, I got 50/50 oats and wheat 50lb bag for 14.99, then ordered a brassica mix and a clover mix from merit seed company

Bought a bag y-day at the local geed store. It's a mix that they put together.

3 types of clover
Cereal rye
oats
wheat
Iron peas
rape
turnips

32lbs bag they say will cover an acre was $45.99

I don't remember what it was last year.

the biggest YOY jump I saw was in the price of winter rye/cereal rye.

Last year I could get 50lb bags for 25.99
This year the cheapest I could find was 34.99

Ordered from deer creek seed about a month ago. 50 lbs oil seed radish seeds for $100 plus shipping. Other member bought the winter wheat, dundale peas and bayou kale, no idea what he paid?

I saw Buck Forage Oats at $55/bag yesterday. I may go with Bob oats at that price.

Backwoods attraction Forage Pro - 24.99
Certified Wheat - 12.99
Oats - 13.99
Rye Grass - 32.99

All 50# Bags

Also picked up a few 5# bags of rape, Daikon Radish, Purple Top Turnips, and clover. Those were each between 5.99 and 7.99.

Can someone explain to me the benefit or the attraction or appeal or whatever of buying these seed blends?

Can you tell me what you're trying to accomplish?

My buddy became a distributor for real world wildlife products. Using the Dixie dozen blend. Not sure of the exact cost yet.

Paid $35,000 per pallet of cotton seed this year which I thought was kind of high. Could have bought that same ton of seed at the gin for $250. Makes me think Brazil may have a slight advantage in cotton production.

Gatlin’s price list this year, I don’t think you can find it much cheaper

I’m curious, why the downvotes for BuckBusters?
