391: Stop Wasting Money On Food Plot Seed: Do This Instead with Doug Holmes
from Habitat Podcast · host Jared Van Hees
Habitat Podcast #391 - In today’s episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Doug Holmes! We discuss: The Downburst 960 is the 9th generation design after years of testing. The original idea came from ruining a food plot due to seeding errors. Native seeds require a completely different planting approach. Drop seeding is often ideal for small-seeded habitat plantings. The new 960 was specifically redesigned to handle fluffy native seeds. Accurate seed rates save money when planting expensive seed. Habitat Day 2026 had the largest turnout in event history. Doug's property shows what 8+ years of habitat work can become. Native habitat plantings may become a major focus moving forward. Community and shared learning continue to be the biggest value of Habitat Day. And So Much More!
