Dansville, MI — DF Seeds is proud to announce its acquisition by Lead Food Capital. This marks an exciting new chapter for both organizations and reinforces DF Seeds’ commitment to serving farmers with personalized service, high-quality products, and trusted agronomic support.
Founded in 1969 in Dansville, Michigan, DF Seeds has built a strong reputation for being Michigan Grown and Michigan Proven. DF Seed’s commitment to its “Best of the Best” agronomic research program has provided great seed to the Michigan market and recognition from beyond Michigan into North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
DF Seeds will remain committed to being Michigan Grown, Michigan Proven, and dedicated to its “Best of the Best” agronomic research program. We will continue offering soybeans, both non-GMO and GMO, along with wheat, corn, and alfalfa products. Additionally, our sales and agronomy team members stay the same and are dedicated to providing excellent service throughout Michigan.
Janna Fritz, President of DF Seeds, notes, “DF Seeds is excited to continue the tradition of our brand that began over 50 years ago. Our company founder, John Diehl, wanted DF Seeds to rival the Best of the Best in the seed industry. DF Seeds will continue to provide the Michigan Grown, Michigan Proven seed our customers and dealers expect. Additionally, this acquisition enables growth in both Michigan and the specialty soybean markets nationwide.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with DF Seeds. As a leading seed company in Michigan and the non-GMO markets, the DF Seeds team has a proven model for serving its customers and markets. I look forward to supporting this team as they build on their past successes and bring value to farmers and our rural communities. said Bryan Murray, Managing Member of Lead Food Capital.
It should also be noted that Legacy Seeds’ corn and soybean business was acquired by GDM. DF Seeds will now transition to offering corn products from GDM’s REVERE brand. We commit to delivering the same high-quality, Michigan proven products for our farmers, dealers, and retail partners.
We are committed to providing a seamless transition by maintaining a top-performing independent lineup and local support. Please contact our office at 517-623-6161 with questions or concerns.
