Blomgren Seed

What Blomgren Seed does

Blomgren Seed is a privately held, family-owned agricultural services company headquartered in Boone, Iowa. Founded in the late 1980s by Doug and Dick Blomgren initially as a Dekalb seed dealership, the company has served the Central Iowa agricultural community for over three decades and across three generations of family ownership. Its operating model is built around four integrated service lines: seed sales (corn, soybeans, and cover crops through dealer partnerships and direct grower relationships), seed treatment (custom, in-house treatment at a climate-controlled facility for both commercial partners and individual growers), warehousing (50,000+ sq. ft. of storage and agricultural logistics including plot seed handling and seedpak cleaning/repair), and CRP/Habitat services (conservation program navigation, site prep, prairie design, and erosion control, active since 2004 with 15,000+ acres of experience).

The company's technical footprint centers on a state-of-the-art 18,000 sq. ft. climate-controlled seed treatment facility built in 2018, paired with 50,000+ sq. ft. of warehousing infrastructure. These assets support both high-volume in-season treatment and prescriptive, field-by-field trial work for commercial partners. The offering is positioned as a one-stop service counter for the complete seed-to-storage lifecycle rather than a product-vendor relationship.

Commercially, Blomgren operates a relationship-based direct sales model out of its single Boone, Iowa facility, serving Central Iowa growers and commercial agricultural partners. It generates revenue through one-time seed sales plus recurring treatment, warehousing, and habitat management engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Marketing is conducted primarily through the company website, direct contact channels, and community reputation; the company currently lists no external investors, parent entities, or institutional ownership, and reports no funding rounds, acquisitions, or public-market activity in the available data.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Beck's Hybrids: Family-owned regional seed company selling corn, soybean, wheat, and alfalfa seed across the central U.S. with practical farming focus and relationship-driven dealer model. Direct peer given shared family ownership, regional dealer posture, corn/soybean distribution overlap, and multi-generation legacy comparable to Blomgren's.
• Stine Seeds: Iowa-based family-owned seed company with corn and soybean genetics and a regional dealer network across the Midwest. Comparable to Blomgren because both are Iowa-rooted, family-controlled seed businesses focused on corn/soy distribution with strong regional brand recognition, though Stine also runs its own breeding program.
• Latham Hi-Tech Seeds: Iowa-based family-owned seed company selling corn and soybean seed with proprietary genetic lines across the Midwest. Direct peer because Blomgren and Latham both serve Iowa growers as regional seed dealers/distributors with relationship-led GTM, though Latham operates at substantially larger scale and also produces its own branded genetics.
• Burrus Hybrids: Family-owned regional seed company headquartered in Illinois selling corn and soybean seed with a strong dealer network in the Midwest. Comparable to Blomgren as a regional, family-controlled seed distributor serving row-crop growers with a relationship-led GTM.
• Midwest Seed Genetics: Regional U.S. seed distributor offering corn, soybean, sorghum, and cover crop seed through a dealer network. Comparable to Blomgren as a regional seed distributor focused on dealer relationships and corn/soy/cover crop portfolio, with smaller scale and dealer-led model similar to Blomgren's.

Broad incumbents

• Bayer Crop Science (Dekalb/Asgrow): Global seed and crop protection company that owns the Dekalb corn and Asgrow soybean brands — the same Dekalb partnership Blomgren has maintained since the late 1980s. Broad incumbent comparable because Bayer's brand portfolio and dealer programs directly shape the competitive landscape Blomgren operates in.
• Corteva Agriscience: Global agricultural input company marketing Pioneer brand corn and soybean seed alongside crop protection products. Broad incumbent because Corteva's Pioneer brand is the underlying genetic source for many regional seed dealers including those Blomgren competes with for shelf space and dealer relationships in Iowa.
• Syngenta Seeds (NK): Global seed and crop protection company marketing NK brand corn and soybean seed through regional dealer networks. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose seed brands compete for dealer relationships and shelf space with regional players like Blomgren across the central U.S. corn belt.

Emerging players

• Gro Alliance: U.S. contract seed production company growing and conditioning seed corn, soybeans, and small grains for major brands. Adjacent peer because Blomgren's seed treatment and warehousing service can plug into contract seed production supply chains, and both touch the same plot seed and treatment workflows in the Midwest.

Regional players

• Heartland Co-op: Iowa-based farmer-owned agricultural cooperative providing grain, agronomy, seed, and custom application services across central Iowa. Comparable because Heartland also serves Blomgren's central Iowa customer base with overlapping seed, treatment, and crop services, though structured as a cooperative rather than a family business.
