What growers are saying about the AgriPro Variety Platte and the Value Added Program: “We’ve looked at Platte for five years – It looks good on dryland, stubble-back and irrigation. Under irrigation, Platte has tremendous top-end potential and can really be pushed for outstanding yields. The IDP program is set up a lot different than other programs, I like having premium targets at planting.” — Gene Perry, Otis, Colorado “Platte has been my top yielding irrigated wheat for five years. Platte has consistently yielded more than 100 bushels to the acre. The standability is impressive and the dryland yields have been respectable” — Dave Knievel, Wiggins, Colorado “The most impressive thing about Platte is its consistently heavy test weights. I also like the idea of a marketing contract for Platte. That way I know in advance what my premium potential will be and I know I’ll have a place to market it.” — Tim Anderson, Albin, Wyoming

AgriPro and ConAgra Flour Milling are teaming up to provide wheat farmers a new opportunity in growing and marketing wheat. This exclusive agreement allows wheat farmers to grow specific AgriPro® varieties for contracted delivery to ConAgra designated sites. It creates an identity preserved program which potentially provides added income to growers.
