In this issue of Future Farmer, the Grand Farm is working to highlight partners working in seed production and planting. One of these key partners working on many projects on the Grand Farm is Proseed. Seed development is very important to the work modern growers do in their operations. Each variation provides significant value, curtailed for the needs of each individual farm. Today, many farmers throughout the MidWest are managing extreme drought conditions \u2013 many variations of seeds are being developed to help combat these stresses and provide yields producers can count on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proseed\u2019s decision to get involved with Grand Farm is because we have a firm belief that innovation and data driven results through research are an important way to stay current amongst the constant changes we see in our industry. Our customers are our top priority and we take pride on being able to answer their questions and help bring the latest innovations to their farm. At Grand Farm we are currently growing what we would call \u201cAn Agronomy Playground.\u201d We take real life situations our growers could experience and implement them into our research. For example\u2019s we have corn, soybean, and sunflower planting date studies, corn and soybean population studies, corn depth trials, multiple treatment studies, and much more. We want to show our growers visuals to help them understand the effects of what they or others could possibly experience in a real-life situation on their farms. We don\u2019t believe in just handing out a pamphlet consisting of pictures and words describing any one of these situations. We believe being able to meet in person and use something that can be seen and touched brings an experience to the grower that they\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Proseed has numerous projects happening on the Grand Farm Innovation Site this year.
