Legend Seeds, the largest independent seed company in the Upper Midwest, has partnered with Farm Nutrients to be the exclusive distributor of Legend’s product line, including corn hybrids and soybean varieties, for the state of Iowa.
The partnership is the latest in a series of expansions for Rembrandt, Iowa-based Farm Nutrients. The company got its start in 2003 managing and marketing chicken litter for fertilizer. With the opening of a new full service Agronomy Center last summer, Farm Nutrients now offers products and services such as crop seed, aerial scouting, precision application, soil sampling, nitrogen modeling, commercial fertilizer, crop protection chemicals and custom application.
“The addition of Legend Seeds corn and soybean products to Farm Nutrients’ portfolio further positions us as a full-service supplier for the growers in our Midwestern area,” said Scott Wicks, Vice President of Operations for Farm Nutrients. “Legend Seeds’ commitment to quality and service align well with our objectives.”
According to Legend Seeds President Glen Davis, the partnership brings benefits to both organizations. “This is an opportunity for our existing dealers and customers to enhance efficiency and access additional agronomic tools while allowing for new growth for both Farm Nutrients and Legend Seeds,” said Davis. “Our companies are thrilled about this long-term partnership and the potential for business development that comes along with it.”
Legend Seeds is an independent, family-owned seed company based in De Smet, S.D., focusing on corn, soybean, alfalfa, sunflower and other seed products. A subsidiary of Rembrandt Enterprises, Farm Nutrients has grown to become the leader in natural poultry litter fertilizer and offers a complete line of high quality agronomic products and services.
