The Quail Unlimited Seed Program is made available through several national seed companies which donate surplus seed for wildlife use. The seed, consisting primarily of grains, is used to develop winter feeding and cover sites for quail and other species. Although food is rarely the limiting factor in quail populations, supplemental food sources do provide benefits.
In most areas, adequate nesting and brood cover are more limiting than food sources. However, with a lower seeding rate and some overseeding of legumes, food plots can also serve as brooding areas.
