Mitch Rowe
A couple years I stopped in Jackson, Minn. at a former DeKalb seed corn processing facility which apparently shut down during the âevolution and upgradingâ then underway within the American seed corn industry. Â I stopped because at 2018 Farmfest event, I heard about this guy, Mitch Rowe, buying this seed plant and was gearing up to produce and market his own non-GMO seed. And delivered at less than $100 a bag!
Being a long-time seed corn guy myself in the Trojan Seed and Keltgen Seed era at Olivia, this intrigued me. Â So I stopped and had my first visit with Mitch Rowe. Somewhat cautiously, I waded in with my first question, âWhat gives you this ambition in todayâs competitive seed corn market thriving on super-traited GMO hybrid?â
