With support from Illinois Farm Bureau (IFB) Pollinator Conservation Grant and Growmark, Cook County Farm Bureau (CFB) is offering a discounted pollinator seed sale program. With the help of Conserv FS, the partnering CFBs are taking orders for pollinator seed ahead of fall 2024 planting. Seeding rates can vary for pollinator mixes and applications, but the recommended rate for this mix is around 5-10 pounds per acre.
Please fill out this form to order your seed. Order forms must be submitted by Friday, 26th. Members can pay for orders by mailing cash or check to the Cook CFB office, or can pay via credit card by calling Cook CFB (708-354-3276). Participants will be contacted once orders are ready for pickup, so please be sure to provide up-to-date contact information so you can be contacted once seed arrives. Individual orders will not be delivered and must be picked up from Cook CFB once they are ready. Orders are expected to be ready for pick-up by end of August.
Pollinator seed discounted pricing:
$20/lb (Farm Bureau members), $30 (non-members)
