Siegers Seed Company, one of North America’s largest
commercial vegetable seed distributors, goes to extensive
lengths when testing and trialing new varieties of vegetable
seed before they make them available to growers. They put the
newest seed varieties to rigorous tests under many different
conditions. These new varieties help growers improve their
business by growing superior varieties to meet and exceed market
demand and keep them ahead of their competition.
Roy Pearman, Director of Sales and Marketing, for Siegers Seed
Company stated, “We do our homework and we won’t sell seed if it
will not fit a customer’s market need and improve their
results.” Growers who purchase their commercial vegetable seed
from Siegers have the benefit of knowledge, expert advice, years
of experience and complete programs based on extensive trials
which provide them with solutions, programs, and proper
expectations.
The valuable information gathered from these new variety trails
formulates the recommendations each Siegers Seed Company
Professional Seed Consultant develops for their growers. They
pride themselves on the quality, integrity and depth of their
research so that growers do not to have to guess, take chances
for results, and learn by ‘trial and error’ themselves. Jeff
Siegers, Professional Seed Consultant for Siegers Seed Co.
currently has over 700 trials with seed from over 20
breeders/producers from all over the world. Siegers heavily
involves the breeders, such as Syngenta, in the trial process
and regularly brings them to the locations where trails are
occurring so they can see the results first hand. The attached

Meachum, of HIGH ACRES FRUIT in Hartford, MI.

Each year there are literally thousands of varieties that do not
make the Siegers quality cut; they do not exhibit the traits
required to be passed on as a commercial variety. One would be
hard pressed to find another distributor that would go to these
lengths to ensure that their customers are getting proven
quality seed products, tested for specific conditions. Mr.
Pearman added, “More than just new variety trials, we help by
understanding the capabilities of the varieties and can provide
details on how to grow them to meet each growers individual
needs. This makes it possible for them to be profitable the
first time they use a seed or variety.”
