2021 Seed Guide
An Independent, Family Owned Business, Since 1967
From our family owned business, to your family owned farm
In 1967 Woody Funk founded a fertilizer business in Lancaster County PA that was
built on serving his customers with excellence and integrity. Helping his growers succeed
and meet the goals for their farm was the vision for Chemgro Fertilizer Company, Inc. As we
enter our 54th season, we still have your success at the core of all that we do.
Our goal is the same today as it was 54 years ago: provide you with products and
service that you need to maximize your farm’s profit potential. Independent means that we
have the opportunity to bring increased options to the table that fit your specific needs. We
are positioned to source a highly diverse base of germplasm, traits and seed products to meet
the demands of your farm operation.
The 2021 class of new Chemgro brand products represents up to 3 years of proven
performance testing on farms, soils, and practices similar to yours right here in the north-
east/mid-Atlantic region. Your farm and environment present a unique set of challenges
each season. Through close relationships with you our customers, our team strives to learn
your specific seed and crop needs. Your feedback allows our team to make all of our product
choices right here at local level. All of our decisions are made based on how we can best
serve our customers and are not driven by corporate share values.
2021 will mark the 6th season that Chemgro brand wheat and soybean seed
production will be grown, conditioned and treated locally, right here in PA. We are excited to
offer a full selection of locally produced Enlist E3™ soybeans for 2021 planting. We are
committed to position our business in the best place to serve you, our friends and neighbors.
Our roots run deep locally… and we ask you to continue growing with us in this coming
season.
Thank you for the opportunity to earn your business
The Funk family and the employees of Chemgro

Chemgro replicated corn hybrid research
The 2021 class of new Chemgro brand hybrids are the result of up to 3 or more years of
performance testing right here in the northeast/mid-atlantic region. We rigorously test hundreds
of genetic combinations each season in order to develop the Chemgro brand corn hybrid line-up.
We plant, evaluate and harvest 14 locations of replicated mini-strip trials from the Northern Neck
of VA to the Finger Lakes of NY. Testing hybrids across this diversity of soils, practices, elevations
and heat units gives us the ability to learn where our genetics can be placed to harvest the best
return on your seed investment.
2020 Trial Locations:
Heathsville, Northumberland Co. VA East Waterford, Juniata Co. PA
Federalsburg, Caroline Co. MD Reedsville, Mifflin Co. PA
Northeast, Cecil Co. MD Selinsgrove, Snyder Co. PA
East Petersburg, Lancaster Co. PA Watsontown, Northumberland Co. PA
