We Farm Too
Farmers in our area have been growing crops for more than a hundred years. And for the past 87 years, the McKillip family has been focused on the art and science of locally adapted, high-performance seed. That’s eight and a half decades of focused, specific knowledge of our soils and our growing environments. It’s four generations of McKillip family members working side-by-side with you to share the wisdom earned and advance the application of new seed hybrids and varieties, new tools, and technologies. We work hard to learn from the past, adapt for the present, and prepare for all the future holds for our customers because we are farmers too.
Your Seed Products
We know what works well here. It starts with the genetics. We source from the industry’s best, most advanced elite germplasm pools, coupled with cutting-edge technologies. We tap into the best hybrids and varieties that are specifically adapted to our area’s growing environment. The science allows us to provide customers with seed products that are both suited to our soils and capable of withstanding all kinds of pests and disease, droughts, and floods that Mother Nature can throw at us and allow crops to thrive. Next, we focus on that early stand. AgVenture provides superior seed quality. The seed is examined in rigorous laboratory testing that far surpasses industry standards. Next, we protect that young seedling’s chance against harsh springtime elements. The AgVenture Security Seed Protection System™ products optimize growth and development while protecting seedlings from pests, seedling diseases and environmental conditions, ensuring a healthy, uniform stand.
Your Trusted Partner
We help our customers get the best advantage possible with outstanding seed genetics and technologies, seed treatments and seed quality testing. But we don’t stop there – because we’re farmers too – and we know the crop is still a long way from the bin. Our AgVenture Yield Specialists (AYS) are here to work with you, one-on-one, on your farm and in your fields. We help our customers develop a cropping plan complete with individualized solutions and field-by-field product placement. We provide support and ideas, considerations, and observations right alongside you on your farm. Our AYS helps you explore and define new solutions, innovative approaches and management opportunities that maximize profits.
Your Profitability
We want to make sure every kernel, every bean counts. Our Maximum Profit System™ (MPS) is a dynamic systems-based approach to dramatically increasing yields, lowering per bushel costs, and effectively improving profitability on your farm. The MPS approach focuses on high-yield strategies from planning, through planting, through in-season management consultation to harvest evaluations. It is strategic. It is effective. It drives profitability year after year. We know. We farm too.

“AgVenture Qrome® hybrids are the product of an innovative new technology that allows us to unlock the yield potential of our industry-leading germplasm while delivering products with superior insect control and agronomic traits. The technology behind Qrome® will also deliver new and higher yielding products to growers faster than ever before.
