Benefits of Saving Seed
| MOBILE SEED CLEANING - Farm-Saved Seed |
| THE MODERN METHOD OF SEED PRODUCTION FOR TODAY'S ARABLE FARMERS |
| Improve your Gross Margins and Profitability |
| Significantly lower your seed costs (Even after paying a plant royalty) |
| Achieve optimum yields by selecting and sowing only the best seed at the right time. |
| Add value to your produce |
| Why sell good grain at market prices and buy inferior seed at many pounds/T more |
 |
| Improved Cash-Flow |
| There is no need to invest such a large sum of money to buy seed, thereby reducing the need for working capital. This improves cash-flow and reduces the need to borrow at a critical time of year, thereby reducing interest charges and freeing capital for other purposes. |
 |
| No problems with late deliveries of Certified Seed |
| No risk that drilling will be delayed due to unreliable, late deliveries of seed. |
| Better quality seed than you can buy |
| Most farmers now realise that their own seed is better quality than they can buy. |
| Many Certified seed crops are grown on light land, often resulting in thin samples of seed. |
| Static Certified seed plants are restricted by economics and cannot afford to dress seed hard. |
| This is not a problem with farm-saved seed since you can select only the best seeds from your best land and return all the screenings to your grain store. |
| The bolder, more uniform nature of farm-saved seed means:- |
|
1) More accurate
seed rates and drilling.
|
|
2) Seed treatments
can be applied more accurately.
|
|
3) Higher vigour
seed and more rapid, even crop establishment.
|
| Why apply seed treatments to thin, low vigour seed? Capitalise on the cost of your seed treatment by only applying high value seed treatments to the best seed. |
 |
| Flexibility and personal assessment of varieties |
| Maximum flexibility to choose varieties and the correct seed treatment between harvest and sowing. Assess how variety has performed throughout the growing year on your own farm before growing commercially and committing yourself to larger acreages. |
| Avoid Contamination by processing on your own farm |
| No risk of seed becomming contaminated off the premises with other varieties or seeds. |
| Quality assessment of each seed lot grown and processed under your own control. |
