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.
