Ioka provides phenomenal service for all of our specialty seed, grain, cereals, and custom blending needs. They are my go-to supplier for forage management and custom wildlife habitat blends. Ioka has been a key to our success since 2005 and I cannot imagine a better partner in the seed business. We look forward to partnering with Ioka into the foreseeable future.

Bishop Farms, & Agri Development LLCI work with an extensive and diverse supply base in the seed industry. The Ioka group is one of my favorites. They are responsive, honest, and people of integrity. When a load of seed ships from Ioka I never worry about the quality. The Ioka group never lets me down. I’m grateful to be able to rely on such a solid team.

Millborn Seeds, Brookings SDFor the past two years we have been working with Ioka Farms to improve our pasture fields and cover crops, following John Snider’s (PGG Seeds) instructions and recommendations. This year our cows were in pasture longer and produced more milk than ever in the new seeded fields. We are thankful we found Ioka seeds and their technical support.
At the Hawley Ranch we focus on raising high quality forage finished beef and lamb for our customers. Our ongoing relationship with Ioka Farms has become a critical component of our operation. Their broad based and innovative selection of seeds, and their knowledgeable friendly staff make our forage management decisions a great deal easier.

Tommy Richardson
Deer Creek Seeds, Ashland WIWhen Heritage decided to instigate a comprehensive program to replenish its soil with a cover crop blend rotation, we turned to Ioka Farms. We worked closely with Lindsay to find both a spring and a fall cover crop that would work to increase the organic content and add nitrogen. Lindsay did initial farm visits to look at the soil types which helped in the design of the blends and illustrated her dedication to finding just the right thing. We were concerned about nitrogen fixers such as clovers since they often persist in the seed bank so she found good substitute.
