High quality native seed production has grown in importance over the last two decades, as organizations, government agencies, and individual landowners realize the benefits of native plants and grasses to support reclamation efforts, wildlife habitat restoration, and livestock foraging needs.
Bamert Seed Company offers over 200 species of high quality native grasses, forbs, and legumes – many of which have been selected from regional USDA Plant Material Centers for their soil and climate adaptation characteristics. Our seed has a wide variety of uses, including prairie restoration (local ecotypes available upon request), wildlife habitat, wildlife food plots, reclamation, conservation programs, DOT projects, and more recently, biofuels.
Native forbs, legumes, and grasses are particularly suited for wildlife habitat and prairie restoration compared to introduced plant species which may require more specialized care. Native grass, forbs, and legumes are adapted to a region's climate and soil, and can often thrive without additional watering or fertilization. Because they can form symbiotic relationships with the local wildlife, native grasses, forbs, and legumes are the more ecologically-friendly choice.
Around 90% of the seed we sell is produced on our farms. The arid climate of our location in West Texas is well-suited for high quality native grass seed production. This is why we have great confidence in our product, processes, and people.
