In the late 1960's Wallace "Wally" Lee had a plan to add value to the existing crops that he was growing. In 1969 he began growing Certified seed and built a seed cleaning plant on his farm North East of Benson. He produced, cleaned and sold Certified seed of wheat, barley, oats, flax and soybeans. He also did custom seed cleaning for other area seed growers as well as cleaning saved seed for local farmers. In addition he sold corn seed for Funks G Brand and forage products for Peterson-Biddick Seed Company.
In 1989 Wally's son Scott joined the family seed business and farm operation after graduating from the University of Minnesota-Crookston with a double major in Crop Science and Seed Conditioning and Technology.
To say that the seed industry and production agriculture has undergone a few changes since 1969 would be a bit of an understatement, but one thing hasn't changed. Our dedication to supply our customers with the best possible product and service at a competitive price.
