After the harvest, the orders will be filled and available beginning December 15 through March 1st. The Louisiana Department of Agriculture & Forestry reserves the right to prorate ANY AND ALL seedling orders exceeding production. Seedlings cannot be shipped, mailed or delivered to locations other than those indicated.

| | There is a State cost-share program called the “Forestry Productivity Program” that pays for approximately 50% of the cost of site preparation and planting of trees. Landowners with five acres or more to be planted are eligible. There is also various Federal cost-share programs that assist landowners with this as well. |
|
|
| | The Advanced Generation seedlings represent our Second Generation seedlings. They include superior trees that perform at least as good or better than our second generation selections and are therefore maintained on our seed orchards. These seedlings are available in loblolly pine and slash pine. The loblolly seedlings average about 34(+)% and the slash seedlings average about 48(+)% increase in growth rates over wild seedlings. |

|
| | The order forms and inventory are posted on our Web page, or you can telephone us at (225) 925-4515 and we'll be glad to mail one to you. |

|
| | LDAF has developed genetically improved seedlings through tree breeding, not through genetic engineering. LDAF is a member of the Western Gulf Tree Improvement Program, administered through Texas A & M University. This program helps members of the cooperative make selections to breed for desired improvements, such as faster growth and improved disease resistance. |
