Rohrer Seed Solutions

There is no precise definition of the “right way to farm.” The answer depends on various circumstances, including soil type, weather conditions, fertility plan, and seed varieties. With expert advice, farmers and growers can make the right agronomic decisions and tap into practical solutions to existing agricultural challenges.

Nobody understands this better than Greg Simmons, owner of Rohrer Seed Solutions.

Experienced seed specialist and agronomic consultant Simmons has a demonstrated history of working in the farming industry. He founded Rohrer Seed Solutions—West Central Illinois' premier ProHarvest Seeds regional owner and Stone Seed dealer––to offer elite genetics tailored to specific farming needs. It provides farmers with reliable, high-quality seed, corn and soybean treatments, InGrained Micronutrients, soil testing, cover crops, and crop consulting.

Farmers are looking for third-party consultants who can provide unbiased agronomic recommendations that help scale their operations. In many cases, companies put minimums on their discounts to help drive their volumes. This is often not feasible because of crop rotation or adverse climatic conditions. Simmons believes that doing business shouldn’t be difficult, and focusing on pushing volume and discounts to move more products doesn’t have the grower’s best interest in mind.
“Helping farmers boils down to understanding their goals and needs and addressing them accurately,” says Simmons.

With Simmons at the helm, Rohrer Seed Solutions helps farmers maximize their ROI and form successful partnerships through consistent collaboration.

When it comes to soil testing, it enables farmers to utilize grid and zone sampling and other offerings to optimize crop production. Growers can capture their yield data and share it with Rohrer’s experts, who then overlay the data with soil test readings to build fertility recommendations based on the grower’s budget and desired outcome. “Our goal is to maximize yield while minimizing fertility cost by making sure the fertilizer is put where it is needed.” In some cases, where farmers don’t have the equipment to collect their yield data, Rohrer Seed Solutions uses their yield goals to determine the optimum amounts of inputs to maximize production.

As a Regional Owner with ProHarvest Seeds, Rohrer Seed Solutions can source seed genetics and traits from the industry’s most advanced players. Working with ProHarvest Seeds, Simmons can select his own hybrids and varieties that best fit their sales territory. “National seed brands select products that will cover 17 states. I don’t care how a product performs in Nebraska. I care about finding the best product that works best where my customer farms. Working with ProHarvest Seeds, and Stone Seed, I get those products,” says Simmons. Through personal testing and observations, Simmons can select the products Rohrer Seed Solutions will be offering their customers. Rohrer Seed Solutions has also partnered with Tracer Minerals—a family-owned nutritional company—to offer their InGrained micronutrients product line.

Through its conventional scouting methods and UAV drone technology scouting, Rohrer Seed Solutions offers stair-step pricing options to boost yields. It leverages Sentera technology to deliver accurate field data to farmers to help them improve decision-making.

“As a consultant, supplier, and trusted partner, we wear multiple hats to drive value for farmers. We intently listen to them and provide them with the right product. As we work independently, we can introduce newer services based on market demands without forcing solutions just to make a sale,” says Simmons.

Simmons’ knowledge of utilizing soil tests and yield data, CCA-certified agronomic recommendations, consistent collaboration, and expertise in seed product selection help farmers maximize ROI. Drawing upon his rich seed-selecting expertise, Simmons continues to enable farmers to succeed by always keeping their best interests in mind.
