There are many benefits of
purchasing new seed.
Purchasing new seed is a convenient way to
ensure getting a product that is highest quality
and highest yielding vs. bin run. Our seed meets
strict quality standards, and you can rest
assured that every bag is professionally handled
and rigorous tested. Buying new seed from your
Ziller dealer dramatically reduces splits and
foreign matter and ensures varietal purity. The
economics of buying new seed vs. bin run beans
is a no-brainer. The average loss associated
with clean-out is 10-15% for bin run soybeans,
and bin run planting rates are generally 15%
higher than new seed.
There are some limited warranty-benefits
associated with buying new seed. With new seed,
you get dealer agronomic support before and
after the sale. With the purchase of a Roundup®
brand herbicide, you can participate in the
Roundup Rewards® program, which has paid out
over $700 million to growers since 1997. Buying
new seed supports new innovations. Monsanto's
research and development spent $588 million in
2006. New trait introductions take 7-9 years for
commercialization and cost $50-100 Million.
Be Smart, Buy new seed.
