Committed to Excellence from the field to the table
Partnering for SuccessOur roots in the vegetable industry run deep, tracing back to 1876 with the establishment of ROGERS® brand seed. For more than 130 years, we have worked boot-to-boot with our vegetable customers to provide a truly cutting edge, individualized approach to solution building.
Addressing Whole-farm Challenges We believe that, to be successful, sustainable agriculture metrics must be integrated into day-to-day operations and decision-making, and that the value of doing this must exceed the cost. Through our AgriEdge Excelsior® program, we’re providing growers with data-rich, whole-farm management tools that help them make agronomically sound decisions, operate more efficiently and meet sustainable sourcing demands.
Supporting the Industry Our commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond solutions, service, and support – it’s an investment in the future success of the industry as well. We are proud to partner closely with industry organizations, such as the American Seed Trade Association (ASTA), California Association of Pest Control Advisers (CAPCA), Produce for Better Health, Produce Marketing Association and United Fresh Produce Association, as an advocate for sustainable vegetable production and consumption.
