Testimonials from Stine Seed ISRs
"The flexibility of Stine and the unlimited amount of success available are priceless. Becoming part of the largest family-owned seed company has been the best decision in my life for me and my family. The friendships that I’ve made with growers and co-workers along the journey have been a pure blessing."

"I started selling seed for Stine Seed Co. in July of 2013, and I can say with no doubt whatsoever that I wish I had started doing this 30 years ago. I have been involved with and sold products and services for several small businesses, including owning two franchised businesses, but none of them compared to the business opportunity, both personally and financially, of being an Independent Sales Representative. It is not easy, but nothing worthwhile is truly easy, in my opinion."
