Mission Statement
Our mission is to be the leading distributor of the highest-yielding, premium-quality forage seed products, while delivering unparalleled customer service in the industry.
Motto
"Feeding Cows is our business"
Our Strategy
Lockwood Seed is uniquely positioned to thrive in a dynamic and uncertain market. Since its inception, forage seed sales have been the cornerstone of the business. Our guiding principle, "Feeding Cows is our business," reflects our deep understanding of the needs of dairymen and farmers alike. We know that while a dairyman’s needs are specific, the contract grower requires the same level of attention to ensure the production of the highest yielding, top-quality forage.
What sets Lockwood Seed apart is our exceptional logistical expertise. We pride ourselves on our ability to efficiently deliver seed across the western United States, outperforming competitors in both speed and reliability. Our customers consistently affirm that no other seed company matches our commitment to service and the seamless delivery of products. This dedication has helped us build strong, lasting relationships across the industry.
