Continuing to provide you and your customers the best genetics and traits we can, ALONG with the professional relationships you've come to expect, cannot be just business as usual. We need to keep adding to our strengths in order to service the best dealer force on the ground. How? We are becoming more engaged with breeders, research and development to find the best varieties and hybrids that suit your area. We are expanding our sales force and having our sales team increase their engagement and support of dealers to help them bring the right product mix to producers. accessable demo trials for producers to see our products for themselves.
