UniSouth Genetics, Inc. is a non-profit seed company
that was founded by foundation seed organizations in the Mid-Atlantic
and Mid-South Regions. The goal set forth at the first meeting was
to provide a solution to a problem that was on the horizon. With
RoundUp Ready soybean seed coming, the local seed producing and
cleaning operations needed an outlet that will continue to allow
them to produce and clean seed. USG was formed in 1997 and has provided
its licensees with competitive seed varieties and will continue
to do so.
UniSouth
Genetics, Inc. is a seed company that was founded by Foundation
Seed organizations in the Mid-Atlantic and Mid-South Regions. The
goal set forth at the first meeting was to provide a mechanism to
produce high yielding Roundup Ready soybean seed. Local seed producers
and cleaning operations needed a brand that would continue to allow
them to produce and provide high quality seed. USG was formed in
1997 and has provided its licensees with competitive seed varieties
for the farmers in their regions.
USG currently has licensees in 15 states. You can contact your
local USG dealer or your local retailer/wholesaler and have seed
shipped to a location closer to your operation. USG dealers have
employees that are experienced and knowledgeable in the seed,
conditioning, fungicide, and herbicide spectrum. Not only do they
provide a sale to the farmer, but plan to select products to maximize
yield potential for your operation. Our dealers are not just reading
from a pamphlet but are producers that have seen and tried the
seed in field conditions in your area. Most licensees have been
involved in the seed business for generations. USG looks at every
experimental line extensively before selecting which varieties
would go into the USG line-up. Products are selected for your
region and are tested in the state variety tests, extension tests,
local field plots, USG strain trials, and side by side test plots
before being selected. When we first started, we wanted varieties
that consistently yielded in the top 30 percent. Not only did
we achieve this goal, but we are constantly fielding test winners.
Our arsenal of seed products includes Roundup Ready soybeans,
conventional soybeans, STS soybeans, wildlife corn, small grains
(wheat) varieties, and exclusive rights to the first hybrid Alfalfa
variety available to the mid-south.
