“If you continue to do the same things, you will get the same results.”

Seed Genetics Direct had another year of skyrocketing growth! Corn sales increased 15%, and soybean sales increased by nearly 10%. As always, we thank our friends and customers for choosing to work with and support us! We believe there is a lot to be said about selling seed with a handshake and not requiring a 3-5 year contract. Times are tough, so why should you lock yourself into a deal with these changing times?

While some companies are pulling out of state tests and regional farm shows, we continue to expand our research footprint by adding more locations in Ohio and entering FIRST trials in Indiana. This bolsters our database and allows our customers access to more data! We have also upped our commitment to regional farm shows, even moving to a larger spot at Ohio’s Farm Science Review.

Last summer, we broke ground on our new soybean conditioning facility at our main location to better control our inventory and conditioning schedule. This facility, which is nearing completion, will have the capacity to condition 500,000 units of soybeans! We are poised for growth for many years to come! We continue to get positive feedback from many growers for removing the neonicotinoids from our soybean seed treatment. Why spend money on a product that gives you no benefit? Universities such as Purdue, The Ohio State University, Michigan State, Penn State, and more have researched and stated that insecticide has little to no benefit on soybeans. Our treated beans come with an inoculant and a growth promoter. Have some tough ground or continuous beans? Our S8+ treatment is a premium blend of three biological components to protect against sudden death syndrome, cyst nematodes, white mold and red crown rot.

Finally, we have many exciting new products joining our line-up this year. We’ve added three new powerful hybrids (6104, 6108, and 6112). Our most popular hybrid, 2111-AA, which truly does go on any ground, will also be released as a non-GMO version! Another popular hybrid, 9107, will now also be available as a straight glyphosate-tolerant version! On the soybean side, we have 7 new releases with lots to be excited about, like a very exciting 3.5 soybean that is showing some excellent natural resistance to white mold! Additionally, we have just added a prussic acid-free sorghum Sudan grass, which is tremendous for cattle safety.

Thank you for working with us and we are looking forward to serving your farm for many years to come!

With appreciation,

Thank you,
