Baird Seed Company began as a small, family-run operation in 1933. Over the decades, our commitment to quality seed and personal relationships with farmers has helped us grow into one of Illinois’ most trusted names in Non-GMO and Organic seed production.
Today, from our ICIA-approved facility near Williamsfield, Illinois, we proudly serve growers across Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio, Nebraska, and beyond — providing seed varieties and processing that meet the highest standards of purity and performance.
—“One-of-a-kind, family-owned seed company since 1933.”
Farmers deserve a choice. Today, three companies control 90% of global seed
genetics. Illinois Brand and Baird Seed Company remain independent. Our
soybeans and wheat come from university and private breeding programs, ensuring
more genetic diversity in our non-GMO varieties. We use advanced traditional
breeding for the latest improvements in soybean and wheat genetics.
From the field to the bag, we uphold strict quality standards in every step of the production process.
We value personal connections and direct communication with every grower we serve.
We support Non-GMO and Organic production that strengthens both soil and communities.
Our MCIA-certified and ICIA-approved organic facility is equipped to clean, condition, and package soybeans, wheat, and oats with precision and care. As an Approved Conditioner and 50+ year member of the Illinois Crop Improvement Associations, we maintain the highest standards of purity and product consistency.
We’re also proud members of the American Seed Trade Association (ASTA), the Independent Professional Seed Association (IPSA), and the Illinois Soybean Association — partnerships that reflect our ongoing commitment to excellence and to the success of Midwest farmers.
