Buckingham Seeds, of Hartford City, Indiana, has signed an exclusive Territory Agreement with AgVenture, Inc. Don Yadon, owner of Buckingham Seeds, will market the AgVenture brand of corn, soybeans and alfalfa seed in East Central Indiana. Yadon is a 1976 graduate of Purdue University and a lifetime resident of Indiana. Don’s 25 years of experience encompass the service and agricultural industry.

“Today’s farmer faces many challenges when making their seed purchase decision,” states Yadon. “Producers must choose from numerous brands, specific varieties, package sizes, seed treatment options and now a selection of trait offerings. Newly formed AgVenture/Buckingham Seeds is excited to offer products and support to top producers in East Central Indiana to assist in making these challenging and very important decisions. Sales and support comes from local professionals that know local practices, local soil types, climate and work to position tested AgVenture seeds on a field by field basis. This personal touch is demonstrated by careful review of field soil-tests, product performance observations, crop growth and agronomy practices, and field histories. This information, along with the producer’s knowledge, helps to place AgVenture products where they can best achieve yield potential. At AgVenture and Buckingham Seeds, Customer Focus and Customer Satisfaction is not just a corporate objective………It’s a Way of Life.”
