Not sure how big the bags were probably 50lbs it was differently cheaper to buy bulk at a 1.50lbs and pay flat rate shipping on a pallet of $250

I'm definitely interested in several bags. How much more do you need for an order at the good price? How much per bag do we need to plan on for shipping?

If I order a  1000 lbs @a 1.50 and add the $250 for shipping it comes to $1750  so that breaks it down to $1.75 lbs I probably going to need 100-150 lbs and I have maybe a couple other guys interested.

I would take 50#

Rainier Seed's in Davenport has it. I just ordered a 50# sack thru my work so not sure what the cost is yet... also I was hauling Roundup to a customer in Wynona (if anyone knows where that is) and he was spraying Roundup ready alfalfa so I brought up the sainfoin to him about it's non bloating qualities and everything else for cattle. He's a cattle rancher, anyway he said " Oh yeah I have 17 acres of it, it's easy to care for. I've never even fertilized it!". So I asked to look at it. Well he took me to it and it look's awesome. He said the deer ALWAYS eat it before they go to his alfalfa. I pulled some plant's and he gave me some seed's to put in a pot to watch it grow. The plant has a smell similar to Anise. Kind of a weird scent...

Any more news on this seed order?

I'm interested as well.  I run a chapter of the Mule Deer Foundation, and we partner with both IDFG and WDFW to plant food plots on public land.  Figure out how many pounds of seed you don't have spoken for out of a 1000# order, and I may be able to come up with the funds for some or most of the rest.  We're just getting ready to plant several 2 to 20 acre plots around the area, so we were going to be buying seed soon anyway.  This stuff sounds like a good dry land solution for reclaiming fallow fields in our area that the deer and elk don't use much anymore because the quality of grasses is poor.

I work for a chemical and fertilizer company and we deal with Rainier seed's a lot so I get a different price but you can expect to pay about$140 for a 50# bag. It's Remont from Montana but there are a few other varieties I would prefer more. Shoshone sounds good and Delaney sound's best for a strong stand that you could possibly cut and bale early in the summer and let it grow the rest of the season for hunting season and thickening your stand by self seeding

If pricing is right and we can get it soon, I will take 200 pounds. I would prefer the Delaney too if we can get it. Some places are already sold out for the season. From what I understand we need to be sure we get the right inoculant with it too. I will need to meet somewhere on the eastside to get my share.

How did the Sainfoin project turn out for people? I'm considering planting some on my property up the Methow.
