Research Efforts Develop “Superior Genetics”

AgriPro is leading the way in the development and delivery of superior wheat seed genetics in North America. From our Junction City, Kansas, research center each year more than 2,000 new experimental lines are generated and tested across 25 research and testing sites in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota. Only the very best of these experimental lines are advanced as potential AgriPro varieties.

The Value of Certified Seed

A Kansas State University Extension study* completed in 2001 shows that with the market price of wheat at $2.50 or higher, certified seed use gives a positive return over bin run seed with just a 2 bushel per acre increase.

You can run the numbers for your operation using this Certified Seed vs. Bin Run Calculator (Microsoft Excel file).

Most past studies comparing Certified Seed with bin run seed show at least an increase of 3 bushel per acre for Certified Seed.

Certified Seed doesn’t cost…IT PAYS!
