First Crop Seeds
First Crop Seeds comprises two main areas, namely Certified Seed and Farm Saved Seed operations.
Certified Seed
Production
The majority of First Crop Combinable Seed requirements are produced locally with seed growers in Kent, Sussex and Essex.
Local producers keep haulage costs down.
Field Quality
Seed is inspected in the field by our own trained staff and again immediately post-harvest to ensure varietal purity and quality at HLS levels.
Seed Transport and Distribution
Seed to be processed is transported to our site at Mersham, near Ashford. The site is ideally situated to service the South East of England
Seed Quality
Here, further intake inspection checks are made by our on-site seed analyst. Only after passing these rigorous and prescribed quality standards, is the seed cleaned, chemically treated and packed ready for despatch.
Effective Operational Control
With all aspects of production, processing and marketing co-ordinated from Mersham, we pride ourselves in offering the highest level of service to our customers.
