Seeds
Here we work to bring better seeds for farmers. We do this by having a world-class breeding program that aims to keep finding the best plants adapted to local conditions. And, sometimes, we use genetic modification to bring beneficial traits to the plant, such as the ability to tolerate drought better, resist herbicide applications or ward off pests. We provide seeds to farmers in eight row crops: alfalfa, canola, corn, cotton, sorghum, soybeans, sugar beets and wheat. Every season, farmers evaluate the numerous companies with which they could do business. We are honored millions of farmers and their families decide to put their trust in us and buy our products.

Good Gourd! What's With All The Weird-Looking Squash?
When Virginia farmer Charles Martin first got into the pumpkin game a decade ago, he started small, with a half-acre plot of traditional round, orange jack-o-lanterns.
