There’s no question that farmers deal with a lot more risk than the average American. As Paul Harvey says, “Despite all our achievements, we owe our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that is rains.”Add to that vulnerability the ongoing industry consolidation, high production cost, market volatility, and ever-changing government policy. There are a lot of things we, as farmers, have little to no control over. Your seed decision is one thing you do get to control.

When times are uncertain, having a partner you can trust becomes more important than ever. At 1st Choice Seeds, we strive to earn your trust by doing what is good and right on a consistent basis.Those who work with 1st Choice Seeds know they can count on us to provide quality products and service, independent testing and product selection, a variety of choices selected for the specific geographic areas we service, and integrity in dealings with the company and its representatives.

We have spent years developing a diverse product line that allows farms across the East to trust that 1st Choice Seeds will be able to supply the right product for their farm. But our roots go deeper than high performing corn, soybeans, and wheat. When a grower opens a bag of our seed, they can trust that it will have the highest germination standard in the industry. They can trust that our independence will provide the best technology for them, not what executives in some boardroom 1,000 miles away decided they need. They can trust in the choice of traits and germplasm from across the industry. And they can trust that everyone who represents 1st Choice Seeds will stand behind the seed and treat them fairly.

In these uncertain times, let us relieve some of your uncertainty. Choose to work with 1st Choice Seeds, a seed company that is Rooted in Trust.
