A cornerstone of the turf grass seed industry is the development of new and unique varieties. Columbia Seeds has access to superb genetics through universities and private breeders but the constantly evolving market environment has made the need to ensure a continued stream of high performance, environmentally sound varieties a priority. To ensure the availability of the newest germplasm to its customers Columbia Seeds has formed a strategic partnership with Novel Ag Research Farm.
