WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

We’re committed to agriculture, growth and our community.

This means we focus on doing what’s right for the customer, creating high-end, highly tested products we’d use on our own farms, employing skilled employees that understand farming and crop yield and delivering top-notch customer service along the way.

The most sophisticated crop plans are only as good as their field by field fertility. That’s why we offer custom soil testing analysis, make fertility recommendations and apply our fertilizer with the latest model of equipment on fields. 

David Barrett
Farm Manager for Ransom Farms

Yields equal to or better than the RR2Y and weed control was very good.

Scott James
Plymouth, NC

Simple fact of the matter — Southern Harvest 6215 LL soybeans were my top yielder!

Chris Braddy

Extremely pleased with my 50 bushels/acre Southern Harvest Liberty Link soybeans especially considering the dry weather early and wet weather late.

Davis White Jr.

I averaged 78.5 bu/a on a 35 acre farm with Liberty Link soybeans. I planted Roundup Ready soybeans on the same land and they had a substantially lower yield. I look forward to planting more next year.

Chris LeFever
Plymouth, NC

This crop of soybeans was the best I have ever planted for yield potential. Standability was excellent.

M&W Farms
Suffolk, VA

Averaged over 50 bushels on 120 acres. Controlled my palmer problem without having any yield drag vs. roundup ready soybeans.

Astro Farms, Clarksville, VA
