What does Great Heart stand for? Maybe one of the most important questions that can be asked. It defines who you are, why you do what you do, and what you want. And in so doing it sets your direction for the future. Thirty years ago, we began providing farmers with the most profitable seed lines. The business has grown considerably since those early days. The geography we cover has expanded to include 22 states. We have further developed our equipment and facilities. The products we offer have increased from three conventional soybeans in 1991 to 31 corn hybrids, 36 soybean varieties, four wheat varieties and Ultimate alfalfa. This is the best time ever for farmers to buy from an independently owned seed company. The traits, genetics and business opportunities seem endless. There are so many things we can do, and many better than anyone else. If you want to be part of an independent agriculture organization, apply today!
