"Being a 4th generation farmer comes with a lot of high expectations to continue to work towards higher yield and more consistency. I plant AgVenture because I know I'm getting the highest quality seed in the industry. I have better emergence, higher NEPS, and more top end yield. I have full confidence that AgVenture will be the only seed I plant on my farm"
