Market & Industry Trends
The Foresight to Plant the Right Seeds
Today’s marketplace dynamics present growers and agricultural companies with unprecedented needs—meaning equally unprecedented opportunity.
Trait Economics
With a growing demand for forages that deliver both quality and value, farmers are turning to trusted partners for proven alfalfa and triticale solutions tailored to their operation’s needs.
Market Concentration
Recent mergers and acquisitions have resulted in four companies representing over 80% of U.S. seed sales. The ripple effect: new people, brands, and strategy create market turbulence and change long-time relationships between farmers and their suppliers.
Sustainability & Regenerative Ag
As farmers look to increase biodiversity and capture more carbon in the soil, demand for cover crops and forage crops such as alfalfa continue to grow quickly.
Consumer Preferences
Rapidly growing segments including non-GMO, organic and other consumer preferences are increasing production, disrupting supply chains, changing producer behaviors and resulting in food companies looking for new solutions and suppliers.
Farm Demographics & Consolidation
As large numbers of farmers retire, the next generation of growers are evaluating crop opportunities and technologies that keep pace with marketplace trends and growth, seizing on new opportunities to maximize profit and sustainability.
