The Willamette Valley is home to several generations of turfgrass growers. A John Deere combine threshes new seed out of the straw. A combine empties its payload of seed into a waiting truck. A gang of Windrowers marches at 3 mph. After seed has been cut it lays in the field for two weeks for the moisture level to drop.
Clean seed is bagged and tagged here.
Seed is stored on pallets before loading into trucks and railcars. Many warehouses condition seed to TMi's rigid quality standards. All Rights Reserved.
