farming for future generations
Our Farming Practices
Simpson Farms has been producing high quality certified seed since 1978 and are continuing to do so today. Being certified seed growers, we have had to adapt to a higher standard of grain production. This includes; CSGA field inspections, machinery inspections, and complying with all regulations surrounding the production and sales of pedigree, and commercial products.
Simpson Farms uses proven technology for seeding, spraying and harvest operations. Being pedigree seed growers allows us to have the leading edge varieties year after year. Using these seed and cropping technologies allows SFJV to grow the top varieties for pedigree and commercial production. All this giving Simpson Farms higher yields, better grades and helping us achieve more profit per acre, but most importantly helping us to nurture the land to provide a farming legacy for future generations.
Simpson Farms Partnership Program
Simpson Farms is looking to partner up with producers and land owners to produce more quality seed products. The partnership program consists of a few different options to help you to find the one that suits your farm best.
Simpson Farms feels that trust and accuracy are some of the most important factors when it comes to building a partnership with producers and land owners.
Simpson Seeds and Simpson Farms have been built on some key core values. One being “integrity” meaning “we do what we say”. This has helped us instill trust with our customers and has ultimately contributed to what Simpson Seeds and Simpson Farms is today.
Accuracy is something that has been a big part of our success with our current partnerships. Using field scales that are calibrated daily allows us to track every pound of grain that leaves the field. For the 2014 crop year Simpson Farms will also be launching an online login for our partners that will give them 24/7 access to all the data collected from the fields. This includes, crop yields, crop quality, and will also give you updates on what portion of your grain has been marketed, and what price.
