Practices

Anderson Seed Farms Inc. has operated as a Certified Seed Conditioning plant since 1958. They prioritize custom cleaning and custom treating of seeds, offering services for corn, wheat, soybeans, and other crops. Their automated treating system applies fungicide, insecticide, and inoculant simultaneously using a seed wheel, atomizer, and mixing drum. All seed is conditioned in-house, with no contractual obligations to specific brands.

Offerings

The farm provides custom cleaning at $0.95 per bushel (for orders over 1000 bushels) and custom treating for any seed type. Packaging options include 50 lb bags, 2800 lb totes, and Buckhorn Boxes. Cleaning and bagging rates are listed explicitly on their website. They grow their own seed and only sell products they would use on their farm.

History & Commitment

Established in 1958, Anderson Seed Farms has adapted to industry changes while maintaining a focus on quality. They operate both wholesale and retail seed production and have conditioned diverse crops like flax, durum, rye, and barley. Their independence allows them to sell a mix of public university and private seed brands without brand-specific obligations.

Buyer Experience

Customers can request custom seed treatments and packaging. The farm emphasizes transparency, using on-farm data to evaluate seed quality. Services are available for both large-scale buyers and individual farmers seeking tailored solutions.
