New Color Sorter Added

Prairie Brand Seed took a big step forward in ensuring our leadership role in providing farmers with the highest quality seed in the industry. A new electronic optical sorter was installed at Sansgaard’s Story City, Iowa facility. This state of the art sorting machine uses multiple high resolution cameras and infrared scanners to view the seed from the front and the back allowing for the removal of defects smaller than .3mm. Contaminants such as foreign material, discolored kernels, immature seed, downy mildew infected seed and other crop seeds will now be kicked out with the color sorter’s advanced technology.

“Prairie Brand Seed is committed to providing our customers with maximum value for their seed dollars,” states Brian Sansgaard, Prairie Brand Seed President, “and our new optical sorter puts us in a lead position for delivering on this promise.”
