Soil moisture zones
Northern glaciated Missouri is mesic silt-loam. Ozark border counties trend dry-mesic to droughty. Bootheel and river bottoms are wet-mesic to hydric.
When to plant in Missouri
Dormant seeding late October through early March. Missouri's warm springs mean you can push into mid-April on well-drained sites, but earlier is safer.
Program notes
Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) partners with NRCS on quail and pollinator incentives. Ask your MDC private-land conservationist about stacked payments.
Always confirm current requirements with your local USDA-NRCS and USDA-FSA field offices before ordering.
Pollinator & monarch angle
Missouri's longer growing season supports late-blooming forbs (asters, goldenrods, ashy sunflower) that extend pollinator value into October.
Missouri CRP seed FAQ
›Are Missouri's warm-season grass options different from Iowa's?
The species list is similar but ecotype matters. Missouri-sourced big bluestem and Indiangrass are better adapted to the state's warmer nights and longer summer drought windows.
