New seed company hits Aussie shores

A company spokesman believes S&W breed and deliver products of the highest quality with improved genetic traits and that have a unique ability to grow in tough soils to produce excellent yields.

Although people may think S&W are not a local company, that is not entirely true.

Developments in the southern hemisphere, saw S&W acquire Seed Genetics International (SGI) in April 2013, followed by the acquisition of SV Genetics (SVG), based in Toowoomba, Queensland, in May 2016.

These acquisitions of homegrown companies enables S&W to offer premium sunflower, grain sorghum, forage sorghum, lucerne and clover products to Australian farmers.

Other investments have included the purchase of the non-GMO lucerne germplasm, operations, assets and research facilities from Pioneer/DuPont.

This acquisition means the company will be able to offer products from the elite program in Australia in the future.  

S&W aims to continue staying ahead of the curve through the development of next generation varieties and the use of new breeding techniques designed to meet the future challenges of farmers.

S&W Seed and its subsidiaries is one of the world's largest seed suppliers with a wide range of specialised forage crops.

Their exclusive seed products are now sold in more than 30 countries around the globe.

S&W Seed Company have hit the ground running with the release of their new sunflower variety, SuperSun 66, which has proven itself in Australia.

This variety was bred in Australia for Australian conditions.

Enquiries and seed orders are already being taken and S&W Seed Company encourages farmers to place their orders at a local rural supplies outlet.

S&W Seed Company have plenty of seed available and are ready to do business.

They are willing to help with any seed enquiries.
