Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Almost half of the grass and small-seeded legume seed purchased by wholesale dealers in the North Central States was obtained from country buyers, shippers, and assemblers. Other wholesale dealers supplied nearly a third of these seeds, while one-fifth of the supply came directly from producers. Traveling company buyers and brokers acted as intermediaries for many wholesale firms in their purchasing operations. This report is designed to meet a need for basic information on seed marketing. Interest in the subject of seed marketing is shared by farmers, agricultural program leaders, and the seed trade. This interest is heightened by the needs for grass and legume seed associated with development of the Soil Bank program in agriculture.
