Trait Testing Delays

Our Trait Lab Manager has advised Customer Care that the lab has had a large influx of trait testing samples in the last month. The lab is working through these samples as quickly as possible. If you have sent in a trait testing sample and it arrived after January 24th, please allow at least 10 days from today for your results to post. Thank you for your patience!

THANK YOU!

A big shout out to all of you who stopped by our booths at the ASTA Field and Crop Convention, Southern Seed Association (SSA), Independent Professional Seed Association (IPSA), and ASTA Vegetable & Flower Convention over the past couple of months! It was great to see some familiar faces, meet new people, and get feedback from all about our services and what we can do to serve you better in the future. We appreciate the connections made and look forward to next year!
