NuTech Seed continues to be a business based on strong relationships and represents an extended family of individuals committed to honoring our fellow employees, our dealers and our customers.  We will conduct business with integrity, trust and respect. NuTech Seed has been a rapidly growing seed company since its formation in 2001 when its founders brought together over 50 years combined Seedsman experience to start a new soybean company in North Dakota. After a short time, the company began to market into additional Midwest states and expanded the product offerings to include corn and alfalfa. Along the way, NuTech Seed purchased the Production Partners and Brownseed brands and enveloped them into the NuTech Seed brand. In 2006, NuTech Seed merged with AgSource Seeds to create a cohesive regional brand since the two companies were marketing to complimentary geographies. This merger provided better opportunities for our customers, dealers and managers. Shortly after the merger, NuTech Seed entered into an agreement that allowed us the opportunity to distribute additional genetics and trait combinations to further enhance our product lineups. In late 2010, this relationship was taken to the next level with the purchase of NuTech Seed by DuPont Pioneer.

Tom started in the seed business in 1972 as a detassler. “I was at the bottom of the totem pole and just worked my way up,” he said. “I started off in production but now I really prefer sales.” In 30 years of seed production, Tom enjoyed learning about seed corn, specifically the purity of the seed. “You have to keep it so pure and there are a lot of steps to get the best product,” he said. “One of the greatest things I like about NuTech Seed is that I never have to worry about the quality of the product. I have yet to have a customer complaint in the summertime. The seeds grow like they’re supposed to and I’m extremely thankful for the production quality – it’s second-to-none.” Tom met Aaron Digman, his NuTech Seed District Sales Manager, when he left the production side of the industry and started working in sales. Digman, who lives just south of Nolden, recruited him to the team eight years ago. “Another great thing about NuTech Seed is the people at the office,” Tom said. “I can call in and the voices are always pleasant, even if I don’t know them. It’s so unique in this industry to be able to easily talk to the General Manager, product managers, and different levels of people in the company.” “One of the customers I have today – he’s a 100% NuTech Seed grower – actually started off as a coworker that was a contract grower of seed corn when I was in the production side,” he said. “When I switched to sales and started selling NuTech Seed, I went to him as a sales guy and he switched based on our previous relationship. Now he’s growing 100% NuTech Seed corn and soybeans. It’s just unique how he started in one company with me and switched when I did.” “Another guy, I like to help him with some projects around his farm,” he said. “So I helped him build a small building this summer. I just did it because it’s fun, but we built a relationship on that and that’s really the beauty of the job.” Gavin Jager always wanted to sell seed. NuTech Seed’s Most Valuable Dealer for the month of October grew up on a farm in central Nebraska, near Haza... Gavin Jager always wanted to sell seed. After receiving his degree in Agribusiness from the University of Nebraska in Kearney, Gavin started renting some land for his own farming operation and over time, he has built up his business. Back in 2013, Gavin decided to start planting NuTech Seed, after seeing how successful the products had been on his family’s operation since the early 2000’s. “I’ve always known the Starks,” said Gavin, whose District Sales Manager is Jason Stark. “I had bought seed from them before, so when I saw that NuTech Seed had good products, I decided to run with it.” Gavin added NuTech Seed being more relationship-oriented than bigger seed companies is one reason he enjoys his work. He enjoys attending the annual incentive trips and getting the chance to meet other dealers from across the company’s footprint. While relationships are a key part of the selling process, Gavin said the performance is equally important, so he’s happy to see the repeatable performance NuTech Seed products have had across the company’s footprint. “People drive by our fields and they can see that the products have performance,” Gavin said. “That gets them talking.” “Guys drive by and see our stuff – they ask what we planted and I tell them about the product,” he said. “My agronomy background and being a local farmer help, too. I can tell customers what works and where.” Of course, making the sale is still hard work.
