NEW SEED PURCHASED FROM NORTEC WILL ENSURE OUR CUSTOMERS are receiving the highest quality and highest yielding soybeans vs. bin-run soybeans. Nortec seed is rigorously tested to assure the highest level of germination. We guarantee our seed is professionally handled, has varietal purity and will be weed-free.

Farmers wanting to use bin-run soybeans will have an average 10-15% cleanout and planting rates are generally 15% higher. There are also extra costs using bin-run soybeans for handling, storage and transportation.

There is some limited warranty benefits associated with buying new seed. Nortec will give you dealer support throughout the growing season. When purchasing Monsanto brand herbicide, risk can be reduced through the Roundup Rewards program.

Purchasing new seed supports Monsanto’s research and development of the new traits and new higher yielding germplasm. New trait and germplasm introductions take 7-9 years before the farmer can utilize the new technology and each trait can cost from $50M-$100M. Nortec and Monsanto
are committed to your success.

NORTEC SEEDS, INC ADVISES ALL CUSTOMERS AND DEALERS that saving any seed with Monsanto patented traits or seeds, including conventional seeds containing a Monsanto or Monsanto affiliate germplasm patent is a violation of U.S. patent law and is illegal.

Patented seed is intended for a single crop. Patented seed cannot be saved for future crop production. Seed piracy hinders the development of future technologies and their benefits to agriculture. A person who helps save seed containing patent traits is also infringing on the patents and is contributing to a violation of the terms under which the seed was sold. Any grower asking to have the patented seed cleaned is putting himself and the seed cleaner at risk.
