New Channel Dealership Comes to Bollinger County

Yount Seed provides local farmers expert advice to enhance yield potential.

Cape Girardeau, MO (November 16, 2022) — A new Channel® seed business has been opened by Jim and Keith Yount of the Cape Girardeau area. Jim and Keith will work with local farmers to help them find ways to enhance the yield potential of their farms and fields.

Jim and Keith have more than 50 years of experience and have previously worked as Pioneer Seed dealers. They will operate with the business name of Yount Seed LLC and cover Bollinger, Cape Girardeau and Perry counties. Yount Seed is working hands-on with area farmers to help them enhance yield potential through the Channel experience of providing expert advice, customized service and elite seed products.

“Building relationships with farmers starts with knowledgeable and committed Seedsmen like Keith and Jim,” said Channel Field Sales Representative Tim Temples. “We’re excited to have them on board, and we’re ready to leverage their experience to help make our customers more productive and profitable.”

One of Keith’s and Jim’s primary responsibilities will be implementing the Channel Field Check Up Series with local farmers during the four primary crop growth stages: seedling, vegetative, reproductive and maturity. Field evaluations begin with placing the right products for specific field conditions, continue throughout the season with regular visits to monitor crop development, and culminate with planning for the next year based on current results. Seedsmen observe and monitor crop development and note their in-depth findings in a Custom Crop Report. The information collected throughout the year leads to personalized management decisions based on local growing conditions, the needs of individual fields and farm management practices.

Channel Seedsmen work with a trusted team of advisors — including local agronomists, field sales representatives and product managers — to help farmers with expert advice about product placement and crop management to enhance yield potential for every field and farm.

Contact Keith Yount at 573-986-1041 or yountseedllc@gmail.com. His Channel seed business is located at 32520 BCR 232 Sedgewickville, MO 63781.
