About Us

We are an independent, family-owned seed company that offers top genetics and agronomic knowledge to help you produce more bushels.

Family-Owned and Operated.

AgVenture began because we wanted to offer better corn and soybean seed products to our customers. As farmers ourselves, we wanted the best products in our fields, too. Now for over 40 years, AgVenture has offered elite products that have gained a reputation in the industry.

Our mission at AgVenture Wehmeyer Seed is to deliver High Quality Seed and a High Quality Experience. What does this mean? First, it means that every bag of seed exceeds the industry’s seed quality standards. Second, it means that you work with an independent, family-owned company. You, your District Sales Manager, or your local dealer can call company leadership to communicate your needs. We are here to support you.

High Performance Seed Portfolio

How are we different?

  • Localized Product Decisions

    TRUE LOCALIZATION means that our products are tested numerous years, in multiple tiers, by Corteva Agriscience and AgVenture, so you are confident you have the right products for your fields.

  • Higher focus on Seed Enhancements

    We know only HIGH-QUALITY SEED can produce a high-yielding harvest, so our extensive range of tests surpass industry-required seed quality standards and AgVenture evaluates the results of these tests prior to selecting seed. Plus, we have one of the industry’s best seed treatments, providing the highest level of disease, insect, and pathogen control.

  • Truly Local Ownership, Knowledge and Support

    We are 100% invested in our area and locally-owned businesses. YEAR-ROUND SUPPORT includes planting guidance from our AgVenture Yield Specialists and post-emergence evaluations of Net Effective Plant Stands (NEPS) to generate more full value ears.
