Welcome

FFR members and affiliated regional cooperatives market seed products and services throughout most of the agriculture production areas of the United States and Eastern, Canada. FFR is an inter-regional cooperative working behind the scenes to provide plant breeding and agronomy services to its cooperatives in support of their seed brands and agronomy programs.

FFR specialists work diligently to seek and implement the newest field research and technology trends. Both input technologies designed to make production more efficient and output technologies that enhance the value of the crop produced are evaluated to aid member cooperatives in working with technology originators to access the genes and desired traits. Then whether it is related to feed, pest controls or ultimate market value, the vast resources of the cooperative system are put to use to deliver total farm solutions.

Investments into farm cooperatives have never been more needed as trait and germplasm ownership changes the competitive playing field. By pooling the investments from member cooperatives and leveraging that with partnerships, business ventures and research consortiums, FFR is able to bring elite products and critical management information to support member coops in positioning seed varieties for optimum performance.

Additionally FFR works with other partners in industry to provide field research services, specializing in the eastern US. Supporting top performance for US farmers through research data collection and marketing support field plot work is FFR's commitment to agriculture.
