About this episode

Damian Mason discusses the survival strategies of independent seed companies in a consolidating industry with guest Bob Miller.

Bayer and Corteva control a major share of the seed industry, but independent seed companies still have opportunities to compete and win. Damian Mason talks with Bob Miller, founder of Miller Hybrids in Kalona, Iowa, about how small seed companies can succeed through strong genetics, farmer-focused service, competitive pricing, and a clear focus on return on investment. Bob, a PhD plant breeder and former corporate seed industry professional, explains why he left the large-scale seed business to build an independent company focused on practical value for farmers. This episode explores seed industry consolidation, corn and soybean genetics, farmer ROI, and what consolidation means for agribusiness, growers, and the future of seed competition.
