Soybeans

With soybean prices at a long term historic high, Michigan soybean producers need to be sure every acre planted delivers the highest possible performance for every dollar invested. At D.F. Seeds, Inc., we actively ensure the following factors for your success.

  • D.F. SEEDS, INC. produces and manages our own seed stock maintenance program.
  • Hand rouging and timely renewal of breeder seed to insure genetic purity.
  • For Non GMO Testing we do grow outs from bin samples, strip tests are done by ZFS on all screenings, and grow out from the dribble samples on finished product.
  • For Liberty Link, Roundup Ready, and Genuity Roundup 2 Yield trait testing we have third party field inspections, bin testing and a final dribble sample testing.
  • Field inspections by M.C.I.A. are performed at blossom set and harvest. D.F. SEEDS, INC. immediately follows-up with seed growers to make any corrections.
  • Bin Seed testing includes TZ tests (a tissue test for damage) or Accelerated Aging, cold germ, warm germ and treated germ. At processing, warm and cold germ tests are done again with bleach, TZ and purity as needed from dribble sample.
  • State of the art conditioning equipment includes double gravity, spiral separators, chain legs (for zero damage), bean ladders, belts and rubber lined impact points.
  • Treatment is applied with a new state of the art computer controlled Gustafson Treater with a separate tank for biological and a chain leg for zero damage. We will offer Apron Maxx  with 2X Apron and a biological or Cruiser Maxx with 2X Apron and a biological or an equal or better competitive treatment.
