Seed storage from climate-to-climate may be a challenge, but the simplest answer is keeping seed stored in a cool and dry environment is always best. Extreme heat or humidity can cause germination levels to fall faster than normal.

Do understand seed is a living and breathing object and must not be stored in anything air tight for extended periods of time. High moisture can also cause seed to mildew and become unviable. Majority of seed varieties stored in cool, dry locations will hold its germination rate for up to a few years on most occasions.

Being a farmer can be a stressful job. Relying solely on mother nature to cooperate with big expectations of a bountiful harvest is not always in the cards. Severe weather patterns, natural disasters, etc. are mostly the cause of a short crop due to quality issues after the cleaning process or lack of viable seed being made if it is damaged or destroyed in the field. Just like any other commodity, seed fluctuates on a market and supply and demand drive prices up often when it is short.

We also must hold back a fair amount of good quality planting stock for next year’s harvest so we have seed to sell to our customers. Being mindful of these fluctuations and occurrences is a must and unfortunately with less and less quality farmland preserved each year it just gets harder.

We want you to know that our drive and passion at Hancock Seed Co. is to support family farms all over the world which helps to ensure that year-to-year we have strong harvest reports and seed supply for our customers!
