Thinking about today's seed industry, I'm reminded of the saying, Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.

I've been involved in the seed industry for nearly three decades now, and I have never seen more change. Two giants, Dow and DuPont are poised to merge; Syngenta sold to ChemChina; in the meantime, we wonder about merger discussions between Bayer and Monsanto?

With all this change, I want to reassure our growers that Legend Seeds has not changed. We remain an independent regional seed company, dedicated to our growers and focused on service outside the bag. Growers who purchase Legend Seeds have access to a knowledgeable team, resources and tools to help them overcome challenges and maximize profits.

As part of our Farmacology total cropping system, the Legend Edge program helps growers manage field data. Legend Seeds Knowledge Plot Academies give research-based information to producers; helping growers not only focus on the future but understand how to implement the latest products and technologies in their fields.

When it comes to the future, Legend Seeds is optimistic. We have confidence in our committed team. We are excited about our future product line-up and eager to hear how 2016 products are performing in your fields this harvest.

Share your success stories and join the Yield Advantage Club. The Yield Advantage Club gives growers an opportunity to showcase their fields successes and Legend Seeds a chance to recognize your successes with prizes.

I'd like to personally thank you for trusting Legend Seeds with your seed needs today and into the future.
