LET US TAKE CARE OF YOUR SEED.
We know you have a lot of things to deal with on your farm. We’re here to make sure
your seed isn’t one of them.
Since 1846, Renk Seed has worked closely with farmers and our mission has always
been to take care of your seed as if it were being planted on our own farm. To do
this, we focus on delivering the best products on the market.
We’ve made significant investments in research and technology to ensure that our
products provide the best yields. What’s more, we’ve cultivated relationships with
biotech companies to deliver genetics and gene-inserted technologies that improve
the returns on your farm.
Farming has changed a lot since we started, and Renk Seed has evolved along with
it. We’ve adapted to new innovations and updated our facilities to ensure that you’re
getting products of the highest quality that we stand behind proudly.
We’re equally as serious about customer service. From over six generations of
farming, we’ve learned that farmers want to work with people they know and
trust. Because of this, building relationships with our dealers and customers has
consistently been our first priority.
In the end, we’re here to reduce the number of things you have to worry about so you
can focus on what makes you money; like marketing your grain, taking care of your
livestock, scouting your fields and making sure your equipment is optimal.
These can be challenging times. When you partner with Renk, you know that we’re
a company that provides top-notch technology, expertise and the kind of customer
service that only comes with more than 170 years of experience.
You’ve got enough to worry about. Let us take care of your seed.
Thanks,
Alex Renk Renk has corn for both grain and silage.

CORN MANAGEMENT
Modern corn hybrids are selected and bred to perform even under high-stress conditions. Maximizing the quality of the environment the hybrid
is planted in while minimizing yield-robbing stresses creates a successful year. You can’t control the weather but, beyond that, there are a few
things you can have a say in. Good management quickly pays for itself in increased yield.

HARVXTRA®
HarvXtra® is reduced lignin alfalfa stacked with
Roundup® herbicide resistance. By reducing lignin
12-15%, which is indigestible to animals, it allows
the plant to put its energy more fully into
digestible portions of the plant. The benefit of
this is that as plants grow the HarvXtra variety
will be at higher quality and digestibility than a
non-HarvXtra variety at the same maturity (see
graph 1). This allows for higher quality feed with a
wider window for harvest or delayed harvest, thus
increasing overall tonnage while maintaining
proper quality.
This can be a sizable benefit. By harvesting at a
later maturity you can gain more tonnage and not
sacrifice quality. Conservatively, you could gain ¾
ton per acre per year or 2.5 tons per bag per year.
This could gain you a benefit of $375 per year.
