Moving Agriculture Forward with Innovation

We believe the path to environmental sustainability will come primarily as the result of agricultural innovation. That’s why we’re developing new products and technologies that will help farmers find smart ways to use the natural resources required to grow our food more efficiently.

We exist to serve farmers.

Our research and development pipeline works to provide farmers with the tools, seeds, and software they need to cultivate our food and clothing fiber while preserving the environment. We firmly believe that innovation and technology are the way to help farmers achieve their goals.

Every field, every crop, every farmer is different; each with their own needs, challenges, and ultimately goals. We strive to address each need, face each challenge, and reach each goal for every field, every crop, and every farmer.

Unlocking Hidden Potential

Some genes give a plant instructions on how to consume resources, like water. With a deeper understanding of a crop’s genetic makeup, we can give seeds the best chance to thrive.
