| Eureka
Seeds, Inc. was established in 1997 when owners
Craig Sharp and Ken Scarlett acquired the corn,
sorghum and alfalfa seed marketing operations
of SeedTec International, Inc. Also, included
in this acquisition was SeedTec’s worldwide
sunflower breeding program, which has since been
sold, and a hybrid sunflower seed production business
that remains intact. The company is headquartered
in Woodland, California, and is committed to providing
service and quality to an expanding customer base.
Today, Eureka Seeds has become a large regional
supplier of hybrid corn, hybrid sorghum and alfalfa
seed to farmers throughout the western United
States. Selling under both the SeedTec Brand and
the Eureka Seeds Brand names, Eureka has established
a strong network of distributors and dealers to
promote and sell a full lineup of high performing
seed products. In addition to marketing products
from traditional plant breeding efforts, Eureka
has made several strategic alliances, which have
allowed it to gain access to the latest transgenic
developments currently available. The most widely
used of these new traits is Roundup Ready®
corn which has become widely adapted throughout
the western United States and has made Eureka
a leader in promoting its acceptance. Other developments
including Roundup Ready® alfalfa are being
prepared for market now, and will help give customers
of Eureka Seeds the most advanced seed products
available in the years to come.
Eureka Seeds also maintains a staff that produces
hybrid sunflower seed under contract for many
of those companies involved in sunflower research
and development. Hybrid seed is produced in the
fertile Sacramento Valley of California and shipped
to customers both in the U.S and around the world.
With an experienced, professional staff, Eureka
Seeds offers an excellent alternative for independent
and professional seed production services.
