Welcome to CISCO Farm Seed
You're probably here because you're looking for information on perennial forage, cover crops, pasture, alfalfa - or some sort of emergency forage. You've got ground to cover, soil to build, hay to make, or animals to feed. You're in the right place.
WHO WE ARE
CISCO Farm Seed is owned and operated by The CISCO Companies, located in Indianapolis, IN. We distribute seed across multiple states throughout the Midwest. We have sales staff in each area along with two forage agronomists to help answer your questions - along with a dealer network to get you the seed you need.
We are dedicated solely to the "small seed" part of your farming operation, namely hay, pasture, summer annuals, and cover crops. Also, be sure to ask us about any CRP mixes you may be considering.
If you have any questions or comments, please reach out to us here.
