In the competitive agriculture marketplace, reducing costs can be a key factor in earning a profit. However, the "advantages" of reducing seed costs by planting saved seed are not advantageous. Bin-run planting rates are generally 15% higher than new certified seed. Studies have shown that planting grain as opposed to planting seed will reduce your yields, by 1.2-5.9 bushels per acre, and your income at harvest. By planting professionally produced seed from Rupp each year, you are guaranteed to be putting the highest quality seed into your fields.

Our production cycle begins with our team of growers planting the highest quality seed stock. Throughout the growing season our fields are inspected to insure genetic purity, and additional care in handling is taken at harvest to reduce stress on the seed.
After harvest, the seed goes through a cleaning and sizing process to achieve uniformity and is treated with fungicides and insecticides to provide better stand and plant health. Finally, each seed lot is tested for germination and vigor to insure optimum performance in your fields.

Our service isn't limited to only providing high quality seed. Our seed professionals will help you select the right products and technology for your farm and farming practices, and will help you understand the warranty benefits offered by our technology partners, such as Roundup Rewards®, that help you manage risks in your crop production.

We're there to help you for the full season, from planning to harvest. Our goal, along with our seed technology partners, is to help you achieve success. Through your investment in technology enhanced seed, research and development of new traits and higher yielding germplasm can continue to take place. When outstanding genetics are combined with superior processing and seed treatments, you will see consistent, high performance with our products in your fields.
