As a farmer, I know we have many different challenges and many different variables that we deal with on a year-to-year basis. The year at hand may be wet, or it may be dry, or it may be cool, or excessively hot. The longer I am in the farm business, the more I recognize this state of constant change.
The one element that remains the same is the soil that we have the privilege of stewardship over. A key ingredient in the success of Keystone Group Ag Seeds and our own farm operation is recognizing that this soil that we have to farm stays constant, and then in turn placing the appropriate genetics and the appropriate varieties on our ground and on our customers' fields.

Joe Anchor and Carl Schmidt formed keystone Group Agricultural Seeds in the early spring of 1997. At that time Carl came home with a tractor-trailer load of Stine soybean seed and figured Joe just had to help him sell it. That load turned into two that year. And together, we laid out a territory that included just about all of Pennsylvania's best agricultural areas.
Like wheat, soybeans are only ready for harvest once, afterwards quality begins to decline. Stine is the seed company that we started with. Stine has been developing the industry's highest-yielding soybean genetics for more than 3 decades. Stine has the strongest breeding program in the world, and it has been for years.

HULLESS BARLEY: Cotner Farms and Keystone Group Ag Seeds embarked on a new project several years ago. The goal was to learn if hulless barley could be used as a feed component in Cotner Farms egg production and could hulless barley be a viable crop for Cotner Farms to incorporate into their crop rotation.
