We excitedly welcomed DEKALB® into the Bayer family in 2019. It’s the start of a new chapter for growers in Canada.
Integrated solutions: what does it mean to you?
Wintertime is decision time. This is when you sit with your family, farming partners and crop advisors and finalize your crop plan for the upcoming growing season. There’s a lot to think about: rotational considerations, seed and trait choice, fertilizer and crop protection options, program rebates and more.
With DEKALB joining Bayer, the term “Integrated Solutions” takes on a more comprehensive definition. “To us, it means being there to help you understand your farm better so that you can be more profitable. That does include seed and crop protection products, but it also means leading genetics and traits, digital solutions and, most importantly, our people,” says Mark Kerry, Crop & Campaign Manager, Corn with Bayer. “To us, ‘integrated solutions’ means products and technology and the personal support you need to farm more profitably.”
It all starts with seed
Farmers need their seed to do so much these days and DEKALB is ready with leading genetics, traits, seed treatments and proven performance across corn, soybean and canola products.
