First off, get something adapted for your area, also check with your local, University experts to find out if there are any sort of fungus or disease problems in your area. If there are, you need to buy disease resistant seed. In areas where Fescue is the predominant grass, they need to use an "Endophyte free" seed. The Endophyte cause all sorts of problems when fed to cattle.

But there should be lots of farm supply places, or individual farmers that raise their own seed and sell it.

Then you need to take a soil sample to see how the fertility and PH is doing, and finally I would suggest planning a year ahead of planting to chemically kill out any existing grass or weeds. You can't just throw seed down in an area with weed problems or existing sod as it will often cause problems getting the new seed established.

Good luck, Gene
