Seed & variety selection

Placement first. Brand second.

We write a seed book against your soil zones — Dyna-Gro, Proven and complementary lines when the acre asks for them. Population and trait choices come from your ground, not a national flyer.

What we actually do

Not a catalog. A plan for each zone.

Zone matchHeavy draws, sand ridges, tiled flats — different hybrids, different populations.
Trait logicInsect, herbicide and disease packages chosen for this county's pressure.
Population & spacingPrescriptions that go straight to your planter monitor — not one rate across 80 acres.
On-farm proofStrip-trial and yield data from nearby ground, the only trial that really matters.

Lines we carry

What Lee County growers ask for.

Corn

Relative maturity, standability, grain quality and the nitrogen story that follows each hybrid.

Soybeans

Canopy speed, IDC risk, SCN package and a herbicide system that fits your residual plan.

Cover & specialty

When the rotation needs a third crop, or a cover that will actually overwinter here.
