PLANTING
SEEDS
OF
SUCCESS
Drive across the Big Sky in
the summer and you'll see
fields upon fields of various
crops—from wheat and barley
to canola and peas. Each
crop is the result of thoughtful
planning, hundreds of hours
of labor, and diligent care from
a Montana farmer. Along with
the seed, they've planted a
lot of hope for a good harvest
in the coming year—every
growing decision farmers
make affects that outcome.
One of the most critical
decisions producers have
to make is the seed they
plant. When it comes to
selecting seed, Montana
farmers have choices. One
such choice is the decision to
use bin-run seed or certified
seed. Certified seed is
field-inspected, genetically
pure seed that's free of
contaminants, true to the
variety, proven viable, has
known quality and has been
cleaned in certified facilities.
