CORN

Viking and Yankton Seed House have made some changes that  benefit our customers by making us a more focused company. Viking Corn & Soybeans (owned by Albert Lea Seed) has become a 100% non-traited brand that develops and markets non-GMO and organic corn, soybeans and alfalfa seed.

​

​

Focusing on What We Know Best

The reason for the change is simple: It's time for us to focus on what we know best, which is developing, testing and supplying non-traited seed. For a decade, the fastest-growing part of Viking and Yankton Seed House has been conventional non-GMO and organic seed. We support all streams of agriculture, but we don't have the resources to develop traited seed and compete with Syngenta, Monsanto and Dow/DuPont. But we do have the resources and the passion to develop and deliver the best conventional non-GMO hybrids, varieties and innovation to those farmers that need them.

​

In practical terms, this means that Viking no longer develops and sells traited seeds (such as Roundup Ready soybeans or Genuity SmartStax corn).
