Andrews Farm & Seed
Owners: Hal and Lynn Andrews
Location: Carthage, Mo.
Company history: The company began in 1974 with a small cleaner for grass seed on the family farm. The business soon moved to its current location, and in 1981 was incorporated. Equipment was added, changed and used for the next 15 years for soybean and wheat conditioning. A new facility was built and began operation in 2010.
Prducts/services: In 1997, Andrews Farm & Seed began growing and conditioning Roundup Ready soybeans, and produced and exported Natto soybeans from 1995 to about 2007. Additional contract producers have been instrumental in being able to provide needed production in soybean and wheat seed needs over the years.
How do you stay ahead of your competition?
“We depend upon high quality producers to provide high quality seed to condition and package. As long as we can help producers plant high-producing products, and reward them for premium quality, we can exceed the expectations of end users,” said Lynn. “Our goal is to provide quality and consistency in production, conditioning, treating, packaging and delivery of the best genetics available,” said Hal.
