OUR ROOTS RUN DEEP in Nebraska

Arrow Seed was established in Broken Bow, Nebraska in 1946. The

company has been under the same family ownership since 1954 with 4

generations working/have worked in the business. Facilities include

60,000 square feet of seed conditioning, distribution and retail space

located in Broken Bow. While forage legumes, grasses, and forage and

grain sorghums are a major part of the business, related lines of food

plots and cover crops are increasingly important to the company and its

customers.

Arrow Seed conditions and packages seeds that are well adapted to the

area and purchases seed from established companies in other states of

those species that cannot be produced economically in Nebraska. As many

as 32 different seed species have been conditioned through company

facilities in a year’s time. Seed packaging includes the capability to

package in small pack bags, bags, totes, and bulk. An up-to-date seed

cleaning plant efficiently cleans seed crops of legumes, small grains,

grasses, sorghums, and millet. Strict seed handling systems and

procedures prevent contamination. Equipment is in place to utilize all

physical properties of seed in the conditioning process a product to

meet the high standards necessary to carry the ARROW SEED tag.

Forage, Small Grain, and Turfgrass Products are provided to over 150

dealers in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, and South Dakota. Food Plot Mixes

are distributed through a network of Pro-shops, land managers, and

retail stores in the Eastern half of the US. Other customers include

government agencies, golf courses, landscape contractors, and other seed

companies.

As an independent supplier, Arrow Seed selects seed varieties from top

breeding programs for performance and adaptation to the Central Plains.

The seeds and other products marketed are selected after a thorough and

careful evaluation process.

Arrow Seed is responsive. Timely availability of products is critical

to ag producers. Distribution is strategically located in the center of

the service area. Arrow Seed can react quickly to seasonal changes in

crop needs. Storage facilities provide adequate space for ample

inventories and the company owned truck fleet allows for timely

deliveries.
