Step into our green world, where innovation and sustainability intertwine, unlocking endless possibilities for seeds
Founded in 1906 by Danish grass seed farmers, we’ve quietly grown our business in North America by attracting and bonding with those who share our common, century-old belief; the best crop results begin with the best seed.
Developing, producing and distributing higher-quality seed is an endless pursuit embraced by everyone who works for, or with DLF. It’s a unifying purpose which transcends geography and connects our people, brands and businesses across North America and beyond.
Our Wholesale division sells forage, turf and other seed products under the DLF and Seed Research brands to wholesale distributors domestically and to more than 80 countries globally.
Our Consumer Products division sells a variety of retail products under the DLF, Deer Creek Seed and X-Seed brands, as well as many private label brands and co-packaged products.
La Crosse Seed sells various seed products – forage, turf, cover crop, food plot, natives, reclamation – to agriculture retailers, co-ops, municipalities, facility managers, landscapers, farmers and other U.S. customers.
DLF is a proven leader in developing high-quality forage grass and legume varieties that are adapted to diverse climatic and soil conditions.
