Since 1928 Select Seed Hybrids has been recognized as a leader in seed corn development and customer service. Our "hands-on" approach focuses on developing, producing, and strategically placing hybrids that will best suit the individual needs of our customers.
Many seed companies tell you they have the right product for every acre. Many herald performance. Many even have similar traits and technologies. With so many platforms and companies to choose from, it’s diffi cult to select the right product mix for your operation. So what makes Select Seed the right choice?
THE MOST ADVANCED PLATFORMS AND TRAITS AVAILABLE.
Our seed is bred with the most innovative traits and technologies available in the
industry today. Our independence from any national company and platform ensures
we have access to the best there is; not just the best we can get.
WE BELIEVE THE SUCCESS OF YOUR FARM IS IN OUR HANDS.
Literally. Every seed in every bag is handcrafted to perform. The passion that goes into
every bag is like the difference between a fi ne crafted wine, and well, wine from a box.
Every Select Seed production fi eld is monitored throughout the growing season by hand.
Roguing is done by hand. We inspect every harvested ear by hand to make sure what
ends up in your hands is simply the best performing seed we can produce.
NO SHORTCUTS. NO COMPROMISES. EVER.
Every acre of Select Seed is grown under 100% irrigation. We use sweet corn harvesters
because we believe the knives and blades are more gentle and do less harm to the
crop. If it’s better for the seed, that’s how it’s done. Always.
A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE.
It might surprise you to learn that an Indiana-based brand has production facilities
alongside the national brands in southern Michigan, one of the richest producing soils
in the country. However, it doesn’t stop there. We have production partnerships with
growers in Hawaii, Chile and Argentina. When you are as passionate as we are, no
distance is too far. This also lets us grow year-round which signifi cantly shortens the
time to get the best products to market. You might say, our passion has taken us around
the world, so we can make a world of difference right here at home.
There are easier ways to produce seed. But easier isn’t always better. We believe this hands-on approach means better seed. Better seed means better profi t for our customers. And, hands down, that’s what it’s all about.
GROWMARKTM
We can’t talk about what’s new for 2012 without starting with GROWMARK. As you may know, Select Seed became part of GROWMARK earlier this spring. We’re excited about our new role as part of the GROWMARK family of brands for several reasons.
SCALE WITHOUT COMPROMISE
GROWMARK isn’t a giant national conglomerate. They are a growing regional cooperative
of farmers, just like yourself, who provide agriculture-related products and services as
well as grain marketing in the Midwest and Ontario, Canada. They share Select Seed’s
passion for seed and our belief that better seed means better profi t for our customers.
As part of GROWMARK, we’re better positioned to compete with larger regional and
national brands. We’ve always had better performance. Now we’re better able to bring
our story to your farm without compromising what truly differentiates us – our passion
for seed and our ability to choose from the best traits and technologies available.
PLATFORM INDEPENDENCE
Select Seed has always been, and remains, an independent brand. Becoming part of
GROWMARK preserves this independence, which is critical to our mission. We believe
that in order to bring our growers the best seed possible, we must have the freedom to
choose the most innovative germplasm, platforms and traits available. We don’t want
the best of a platform. We want the best of all platforms. Platform independence is the
key to consistently high performing products and is a large part of the value we bring
to your farm.
A BROADER RANGE OF SOLUTIONS
GROWMARK will enable us to bring growers in our region access to not only Select
Seed but a range of agricultural solutions from fertilizer to energy solutions, crop
insurance and fi nancing options. With GROWMARK, we’re better positioned to offer
our growers more support for their success than ever before.
