We combined the best of the Viking and Blue River organic seed to bring you the new, stronger Blue River lineup. We believe it's the single strongest lineup of corn hybrids in the nation. Together with your local Blue River dealer, the team at Albert Lea Seed is committed to the success of organic farmers. Our organic seed corn is screened, trialed, tested, and specifically adapted to the unique challenges of organic farming.

We also know how important the absence of GMOs is to organic farmers and consumers. We were the first company in the U.S. to offer a purity guarantee on corn. Blue River organic corn comes in three different levels of purity: UltraPure (99.9% GMO-Free), Pure (99.0% GMO-Free), and Select (98.0% GMO-Free). If it doesn’t meet one of these three standards, we won’t sell it as organic seed.

Our germplasm is sourced from large and small breeding programs and we run our own replicated testing program to compare all these hybrid corn seeds. We are looking for the highest yield (and the best tonnage/quality for silage), but we are also screening hybrids for emergence, ear flex, drydown, stalk and root strength, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and population tolerance.

We believe that organic farmers are best served by a qualified dealer who understands the local growing conditions and the regional challenges, markets, and network. You can find a dealer near you using our dealer finder or call 800.352.5247.
