At Great Lakes Hybrids, there are several core values that we hold in the highest regard and use to make our corporate decisions. They are also values we look for and expect from our employees.

Generations Ahead

For nearly 90 years, Great Lakes Hybrids has been a seed-only company focused on supplying the genetic and service needs of our customers.

Today, with AgReliant Genetics’ breeding program and a revolutionary new doubled-haploid breeding process, Great Lakes stands ready to meet the emerging needs of farmers in a way that no other seed company can.
