Purchasing new seed is a convenient way to ensure you are getting a high quality and high potential product vs. bin-run. Our seed meets strict quality standards, and you can rest assured that every bag is professionally handled and rigorously tested. Buying new seed dramatically reduces splits and foreign matter and ensures varietal purity because we use germination tests to help peace of mind. New seed is also weed free!

The economics of buying new seed vs. bin-run is a no-brainer. The average loss associated with cleanout at harvest is 10-15% for bin-run, and bin-run planting rates are generally 15% higher than new certified seed.

There are some limited warranty benefits associated with buying new seed. With new seed, you get dealer agronomic support before and after the sale. With the purchase of a Roundup® brand herbicide, you can receive the risk management benefits of the Roundup Rewards® program, which has paid $600M to farmers since 1997.
Buying new seed supports new innovations. Monsanto invests over $700 million per year on research and development. New trait introductions take 7-9 years for commercialization and cost $50-$100M.

Be smart. Buy new seed.
