grain sorghum

Going with the grain

Providing high-quality grain sorghum seed has long been our core business – and that commitment is stronger now than ever.

While grain sorghum production continues to shift, we strive to meet the challenge of supplying superior hybrids through breeding and partnerships with key seed companies.  We are committed to developing cutting-edge genetics that will incorporate valuable germplasm from our sister company, Advanta Australia.

Our current research focuses on improving genetics in several critical areas:

  • Yield
  • Purity
  • Disease resistance
  • Herbicide tolerance
  • Cold stress
  • Drought tolerance
  • Biomass generation

We develop hybrids and track their agronomic characteristics for success in the fields.  Beyond the mid-bloom date, maturity, and grain color,  we develop the technical reports for plant height, head type, standability, stress tolerance, seedling vigor, greenbug tolerance by biotype, head smut by race, and disease resistance for downy mildew, MDMV and charcoal rot.  Our hybrids come loaded with features, benefits and advantages of agronomic support from sorghum experts.
