UniSouth Genetics, Inc. is a non-profit seed company that was founded by foundation seed organizations in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast Regions. The goal set forth at the first meeting was to provide a solution to a problem that was on the horizon. With RoundUp Ready soybean seed coming, the local seed producing and cleaning operations needed an outlet that will continue to allow them to produce and clean seed. USG was formed in 1997 and has provided its licensees with competitive seed varieties and will continue to do so. USG currently has licensees in 11 states. You can contact your local USG dealer or you can contact your local retailer and have USG products wholesaled to a location closer if you are not located close to one. USG dealers have employees that are experienced, knowledgable in the seed, treatment, fungicide, and herbicide spectrum. Not only do they provide a sale to the farmer, but also a service to the farmer. Our dealers are not just reading from a pamphlet but, by being producers, they have seen and tried the seed in field conditions in your area. Licensees have been involved in the seed business for generations. USG looks at every line extensively before selecting which varieties would be blessed with the USG variety name. Products are selected for your region by someone who is in your area. USG seed is tested in the state variety tests, extension tests, local field plots, USG strain trials, and side by side test plots. When we first started, we wanted varieties that consistently yielded in the top 30 percent. Not only did we achieve this goal, but we are constantly fielding test winners. Our arsenal of seed products includes 31 varieties of Roundup Ready soybeans, 2 conventional soybean varieties, 2 STS soybean varieties, 3 conventional corn varieties, 8 RR/BT corn varieties, 1 wildlife corn variety, 7 small grains (wheat) varieties, and exclusive rights to the first hybrid Alfalfa variety available to the mid-south.
