Growing Together. Growing Forward.
Eleven Bayer seed brands are joining forces to launch the enhanced Channel® seed brand.
Field-Proven Precision Breeding
Of course, you’ll evaluate how different products perform in your fields. But our large, data-driven breeding program helps you get the most out of each one. We thoroughly evaluate products based on the latest science and use extensive field testing to increase yield potential and minimize risk.
Broad Germplasm
It all starts with plant breeding. Germplasm is the building block for better products. When beginning the breeding process, we start with a large genetic pool of possible products, narrow them down in less time, and test more high-potential top performers in fields like yours.
Pre-Commercial Testing
In this phase, we begin selecting the products to undergo local testing. We use local breeding and technology development plots to understand early product potential and determine which products perform best under differing agronomic conditions.
Local Testing
With assistance from our Gold Country Seed technical agronomists, we select a handful of products to test in Gold Country Seed® trials. Before a product is brought to market, we test and monitor them across hundreds of field scenarios in your local area.
Adding to the Gold Country Seed® Product Lineup
After local testing, our technical agronomists select the products that performed the best across the area we serve. These products are introduced each year into our product lineup.

We Know What It Takes in Minnesota
We call Minnesota home, and we’re in this business to help our neighbors. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing you with seed, service and solutions — not just for any problem, but for Minnesota problems. Our technical agronomists have the expertise you can rely on to flourish in our unique environments. See where we test our carefully selected products so we can help you continue to thrive.
