Many areas could do more native warm season grass promotion if a seed drill was available. Some NRCS offices are partnering with local SWCDs to purchase seed drills and there may be other opportunities through NGOs, garden clubs, etc. Grant funds can sometimes be used for equipment purchases. If lack of seed drills is a major impediment then reach out to WLFW and partners for help!
