Abstract: A random sample of Ohio farm operators was surveyed about the revenue they earned from selling seed to farmers. Approximately 15% of the survey respondents reported selling seed to farmers. For most respondents who sold seed the seed dealership was not an important source of income. However, some sold substantial amounts. Those who sold more than $5000 of seed were more likely to be full-time farmers than other survey respondents. Lastly, selling seed was associated with a greater discount on seed purchased for the farming operation.
