SCOUT
SEED CO.
Improving the health and wealth of your land
Founded by Farmers
Scout Seed Co. is a team made up of experts in the ever-evolving seed supply and cover crop industry. We have decades of combined experience cultivating in the Southeast, which means we know what farmers need to grow the best crop possible in their land.
Our main goal is to manage risks and maximize benefits to the farms we supply, which is what separates us from the competition in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. We’re passionate about sharing what we’ve learned in order to make your farm more efficient and productive. You can trust that if we’re recommending a seed or planting technique, that’s because we’ve tried it ourselves and watched it increase yields on a farm you’ve probably driven by a dozen times.
Corn, soybean, and cover crops are the seeds we specifically focus on that offer reliable returns and high crop yields. We offer services in Detailed Zone Creation and Management, Precision Soil Sampling, Variable Rate Seeding, and Field Trial Research, proving our well-rounded expertise in the seed farming industry.
We stand out from our competition because we limit our focus, building more in-depth knowledge in the seed industry, instead of offering every service available like the large agricultural retail businesses do. We know firsthand how important these cover crop seed choices can be, so we are always willing to get on the phone with you to make sure we are offering the very best for you and your farm.
You cannot save your way to prosperity. That’s why we love full bins and bountiful harvests.
