AgReliant Genetics
North American corn and soybean seed company, a KWS and Limagrain joint venture, marketing LG Seeds, Golden Harvest and Lewis Hybrids brands through independent dealer networks across the US Corn Belt.
AgReliant Genetics is a North American seed company headquartered in Westfield, Indiana, formed in 2000 as a joint venture between KWS of Germany and Limagrain of France. The company markets corn and soybean hybrid seed varieties across the United States and Canada through three commercial brands: LG Seeds, Golden Harvest and Lewis Hybrids, each targeting distinct regional dealer networks and production geographies across the US Corn Belt and Northern Plains. AgReliant's breeding activity is conducted in more than 20 research locations across the United States, combining germplasm from KWS and Limagrain's global breeding programmes with locally adapted North American material. The independent dealer model is central to AgReliant's distribution strategy, with local seed dealers serving commercial corn and soybean farmers as trusted agronomic advisors. AgReliant holds plant variety protection certificates on its proprietary hybrids and applies trait licensing agreements for biotech trait stacks in cooperation with Bayer Crop Science and Corteva. The joint-venture structure gives AgReliant access to long-term investment capacity and allows it to compete effectively against larger vertically integrated seed companies in the North American market.
