The Next Generation of Seed
The past year has been a big year for us here at Nuseed. We’re honored to be a part of your operation.
We know you have several choices for your sunflower hybrids, and appreciate that you choose us year
after year.
As we have completed our brand transition from SEEDS 2000 to Nuseed, we’ve taken steps to define
“The Next Generation of Seed” by creating the largest sunflower breeding program to date. Our head
sunflower breeder in Breckenridge supervises our global breeding network of several sunflower breeders
plus staff across four continents. Together they research and test the largest pool of confectionary sunflower germplasm and one of the most diverse oil sunflower germplasm pools in the seed industry. Through
this collaborative effort, we’ve made great advances in our confection and oil programs while offering you
the POST weed control option of Clearfield® and ExpressSun®.
We’ve done all of these things to honor our pledge to help you mate the perfect hybrid for every acre
across your entire farm. We thank you for you r past business and look forward to an enhanced relationship as we go forward.
We’re Nuseed… the next generation of seed.
