Improving the health and wealth of your land

Managing risks and maximizing benefits is what separates us from the competition. Scout Seed was founded by farmers with decades of combined experience cultivating in the Southeast, which means we know what farmers need to grow the best crop possible in their land.

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.

You cannot save your way to prosperity. That’s why we love full bins and bountiful harvests.
