igrowth<\/strong> and EMPYR Premier Forage hybrids in-house and to process and bag seed in flexible batches to meet specific grower demands. Seed processed through the facility will be shipped to customers in the U.S. and internationally.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cOur lines are set up from a capacity standpoint where we can process and bag seed for several situations and customer types. If a customer wants a large run of bags, we can easily do that. But we now have the flexibility for customers who need smaller runs of seed. For example, if they decide to switch to grain sorghum from corn in a replant situation, we can process an additional couple hundred bags of seed at a time,\u201d says Rusty Bevel, ADVANTA director of sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFrom a distribution standpoint, with the different levels of capacity and processing capabilities, we can meet the demand of both big and small operations. It\u2019s important to us to meet customer needs by providing the seed quantities they want,\u201d Bevel adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The multi-million-dollar investment includes 100,000 square feet of additional warehouse space, multiple seed lines and other equipment enhancements. As seed arrives at the facility, it goes through a rigorous testing process to ensure it meets the company\u2019s exacting quality standards before it is put on the processing schedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis investment enables us to provide the industry-leading seed technologies that Alta Seeds and ADVANTA are known for \u2014 igrowth<\/strong>, EMPYR, Aphix\u2122 elite sugarcane aphid tolerance and more,\u201d Bevel says. \u201cOur products have significantly raised the bar in the industry for quality and performance. These state-of-the-art enhancements enable us to consistently provide our best-in-class offerings. We\u2019re incredibly proud to bring this level of investment to sorghum producers and support our community with additional job creation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nAbout Alta Seeds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAlta Seeds is a premium seed brand of Advanta US, an operating unit of global seed company Advanta Seeds and a division of UPL.
