About

Family-Owned Company with Farmer-First Mindset

At Merschman Seeds, success is based on putting the farmer-first by offering superior seed products, best in class service, and the most innovative management practices. As an independent, family-owned seed company from West Point, Iowa, we pride ourselves on selling Merschman Soybeans, Corn, Wheat, and Distributors of Stine Corn and America’s Alfalfa throughout the Midwest.

The phrase “Your Friend In The Field®” is more than just a tagline for us. Our independent nature and farmer-first approach mean we treat you the way you want to be treated. Our team is focused on driving innovation for Farmer profitability and yield, bringing you the newest options and best choices in the seed industry.

A Farmer-First Company

We are a family-owned and operated company, so we do business differently. Generations of farmers have trusted us with their seed decisions since 1954, because we put the Farmer's yield and profitability at the forefont of our minds. This style of mindset and management drives positive change within our company. We do not answer to investors on Wall Street, allowing us the opportunity to do what is best for the Farmer and not worry about how that affects our stock price.

No Disconnect Between Field and Management

We can put a face to the name of our CEO/President of Merschman Seeds, and you can actually talk to him. Our customers have access to Joe Merschman's contact information, and can contact him anytime with comments or suggestions to improve the company.

Faster, Meaningful Changes

Because there are only two layers of management between field personnel and the owner of the company, positive changes can occur quickly. It's not like putting a suggestion card in a box and wondering if anyone who matters is going to see it.

Broader Traits

At Merschman Seeds, we have working relationships with BASF, Corteva™ and Syngenta®. This allows us to give you more choices when it comes to insect protection & herbicide programs. We let you choose what's best for your operation.
