leadership of the company he founded in 1993. “This company is
rooted in delivering cutting edge hybrids and varieties and
exceptional, value-added service to our customers. Joining
AgVenture firmly benefits our customers in both areas.” Wray
continued, “AgVenture’s ability to provide seed companies like
Wray Seeds with access to all major trait providers and broad
genetics resources means we can deliver optimal performance in
locally adapted hybrids and varieties. AgVenture is a great fit
for us as it allows us to continue to own and preserve our
relationships with our customers, serving them with outstanding
seed, and the localized knowledge and support they trust.”
AgVenture, Inc. (AVI) Business Development Manager, Chuck
Schneider added, “The addition of AgVenture Wray Seeds provides
Ohio growers with valuable access to the traits they need to
produce profitably. These growers will see a greatly expanded
product line-up from their locally owned, locally produced,
serviced and delivered seed company.”
AVI has experienced significant growth across the country in the
past two years alone, rapidly climbing into the seed industry’s
top ten seed companies. Schneider commented, “Growers appreciate
independence. They trust their local seed professionals and
products that are developed locally. AgVenture’s expertise is
all about providing local seed companies with access to a whole
world of traits and genetics that regional seed companies can
adapt to suit the needs of their growers. The resulting seed
products really do allow both the independent seed company and
the grower to grow with confidence.”
