Grow a Better Future. Protected from
Proprietary non-GMO yellow pea seeds and soybeans backed by premium contract crop farming programs and a 100% U.S. supply chain.
What Is the Grower's Program?
These aren't your average seeds. And this isn't your average program.
The PURIS Grower's Program equips U.S. farmers with premium, non-GMO seeds, transparent pricing, and pre-determined, guaranteed premiums on designated food-grade crops.
When you join our program, you don't just get regionally adapted seeds — you get access to on-call agronomy support in addition to an entire farmer network, comprised of everyone from first-generation organic growers to fifth-generation conventional farmers.
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
The PURIS Grower Program connects performance-driven farms with proprietary non-GMO peas, soybeans, and corn. Supported by structured contracts, agronomy expertise, and a fully domestic supply chain.

Seed & Security
The PURIS Difference
Backed by 40+ years of non-GMO breeding expertise.
Non-GMO & Organic By Design
Every PURIS variety is naturally bred (never genetically modified) using standard breeding practices. We focus on breeding for non-GMO and organic systems, so our seeds are vigorous in organic fields, help with weed suppression, and thrive without synthetic chemicals. (In fact, PURIS runs only non-GMO, organic processing facilities, ensuring your crop stays pure from field to food.)
Performance for Americans
We target North American soils and climates. Our soybeans can handle Midwest growing conditions (with traits like strong tolerance to SCN, white mold, and SDS common in the region). Our peas thrive in both the heat and humidity of the South and the short summers up North. And our corn hybrids deliver robust yields with great standability and stress tolerance in real on-farm conditions. Wherever you farm, chances are we have a variety bred for you.
Support with Non-GMO Corn
Corn is a cornerstone crop, so we’ve made it part of the PURIS family too. PURIS is one of the few independent seed companies breeding its own non-GMO corn inbreds and hybrids. While our pea and soybean programs include full-production contracts, we offer high-performing yellow corn hybrids as a seed-only program (no buy-back) to round out your rotation. These corn varieties – available across all our key regions – are developed to excel in both conventional and organic systems. And coming soon, we’ll introduce white non-GMO corn hybrids (available in 2027) – a unique offering that opens new specialty markets and underscores our food-first mission.
Quality That Commands Premiums
PURIS seeds produce food-grade crops that earn more. Our soybeans are high-protein and bred to meet strict specs for tofu, tempeh, and soy milk makers. Our yellow peas have elevated protein and process cleanly into ingredients like protein powders, starches, and fibers (used in products from nutrition shakes to crunchy snacks). By growing these premium varieties, you gain access to higher-value markets that reward quality. Simply put: the better the seed, the better the price.
Seeds Bred for Your Fields
Our in-house breeding program, led by PURIS founder Jerry Lorenzen, has been developing superior non-GMO seeds since 1985. Today, we're one of the only private U.S. companies that breed our own non-GMO seeds in-house.
We have always controlled the entire seed breeding process, giving farmers access to seeds uniquely bred for North American soils and climates. Because of this, our seeds are vigorous in organic fields, help with weed suppression, and thrive without synthetic chemicals.
Our Non-GMO Seeds
PURIS is one of the only independent U.S. companies breeding proprietary non-GMO peas, soybeans, and corn for food-grade markets. Our proprietary non-GMO yellow pea, soybean, and corn genetics are selected for yield stability, disease resistance, and food-grade performance. Every variety is tested in real field conditions before it earns a place in your rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who buys my crop?
PURIS purchases contracted yellow pea and soybean production directly through structured contract programs. Corn is offered as a seed-only program.
What is a full production contract?
Eligible pea acres qualify for full production contracting. PURIS commits to purchasing 100% of contracted production at defined pricing and delivery terms.
What is Act-of-God protection?
Act-of-God protection means uncontrollable events such as drought or hail do not penalize growers for yield losses beyond their control. Contract terms account for verified production shortfalls.
Do I have to be organic?
No. PURIS works with both conventional and certified organic growers. Organic programs are available for those operating in or transitioning to organic systems.
How does pricing work?
Pricing and delivery windows are defined prior to planting. Contracts are structured to reduce exposure to commodity market volatility.
How quickly do I get paid?
PURIS coordinates logistics and processes payments according to defined settlement timelines following delivery.
Looking to Partner?
Built for Your Region. Ready for Your Acres.
Each region brings different challenges, such as maturity windows, disease pressure, moisture variability, and soil type. Our genetics and contract programs are structured to match them.
Whether you farm 50 acres or 5,000, conventional or organic, there’s a PURIS program built for your operation.
Regional fit isn’t assumed. It’s tested.
Built for the Long Term
PURIS structures its grower relationships around stability, not speculation.
Our premium contract programs are built on clear pricing logic, defined delivery windows, and long-term domestic demand for food-grade crops.
Because PURIS operates a fully U.S.-based supply chain, from seed development to processing, growers benefit from shorter logistics lanes, predictable settlement timelines, and market continuity.
Built for Domestic Food-Grade Demand
PURIS connects U.S. farmers to growing domestic demand through seed-to-processing infrastructure built here at home.
