Golden Harvest
Seeds introduces "H" soybean varieties for 2006 planting under
Gutwein™ brand |
Waterloo,
Nebraska
April 18, 2005
Golden
Harvest Seeds, Inc. has announced a soybean
distribution agreement that will allow their customers a
wide choice of genetics and Roundup Ready®
technology coupled with Golden Harvest’s familiar “H”
numbering system for planting in 2006.
Golden Harvest dealers and sales
representatives will be the exclusive source of Gutwein
brand soybeans for 2006 planting. The varieties will
bear Golden Harvest “H” numbers for easy reference to
the Golden Harvest soybeans farmers have been planting.
“Gutwein replaces the Fastart™ brand we originally
intended to use as it will allow us to deliver soybean
varieties using the familiar H-numbering system our
dealers and customers are used to,” Head of Product
Management, Dennis Bracht, explained. “By using the
Gutwein brand, we can assure customers they’re getting
the genetics and quality they expect from us.”
“This
is a great addition to our 2006 strategy, to allow
customers to access genetics and technologies they are
familiar with through their Golden Harvest dealers and
sales representatives,” Jim Sommer, Golden Harvest Joint
Operating Head, added. “It allows us to go forward with
a complete line-up of products.”
The
Gutwein brand joins the Golden Harvest and NK®
brands in Golden Harvest dealer and sales representative
soybean offerings for 2006 planting.
