Wholesale Seed Processor


For over a century this successful wholesale seed processing and distribution company is located in South Dakota. For over a century, this business has been a State Certified seed processing facility. This business has two full time employees, and the owner/manager has operated it for over twenty years of continued success. Possible expansion onsite, years of stability, and abundant opportunities for business growth make this a great opportunity.

The Company buys bulk grain from farmers and other grain dealers in the area, cleans and bags the grain and resells it across the upper Midwest, primarily to other wholesale seed dealers. The Company deals in Sunflowers, Wheat, Oats, Milo, Rye, Barley, Millet, Safflower and Triticale. The facility is very well maintained, has excess bushel capacity, numerous types of grain bins, grain dryers, grain cleaning equipment, and delivery trucks. Besides the main grain elevator, the facility has over 40,000 square feet of warehouse space and a 1,200 square foot outside storage building.

Opportunities

Growth:

A larger sales team could drive growth. There is room to grow, but labor is a bottleneck. There are currently some crops/seeds that aren’t being processed, growing offerings to farmers as the supplier and customer could develop more markets. Capacity is currently underutilized. The Seller would be willing to stay on in a management role if the buyer so desired for +/- a year.
