Seed Services Newsletter

Dear Subscriber,

Welcome to the October issue of our Seed and Crop Newsletter. We are winding down the SRW wheat testing season and are in the midst of cool season grasses and gearing up for row crops, vegetables and forages. This past summer has seen SGS Mid-West Seed Services switch over our Quick Books billing system to the SGS system which is going well. Clients will see a new address to send payments to and a request to use the remittance slip at the bottom of your invoices.

We are hoping for an extended dry harvest season to minimize issues such as frost damage, Phomopsis seed decay and other weathering associated impacts on seed quality. We hope you have a safe enjoyable harvest season and please give us a call as seed quality questions arise.


Sincerely,


Tim Gutormson
Senior Vice President, Agriculture North America
