Ioka Farms

Ioka Farms is a grower for many local seed companies and most planted acres are under contract. The majority of acreage is made up of turf grass seed production with forage and specialty seeds filling in the rest. Many of these cultivars are of certified, proprietary material, giving us more consistent yields, less chance of weed contamination, improved genetics, and a premium price. Through the years, we have gained experience with producing different grass seed crops and have found the diversity very beneficial.

Ioka Marketing

Ioka Marketing provides contract production to select customers in the surrounding area. Selection is based on our goal to achieve certain quality seed standards. Contract seed production can be a great business opportunity for the grower and the contractor. Producers can expand their rotations, diversify risk, and increase profits. Contract production can also open up new markets which would otherwise be unavailable. Ioka Marketing can help you develop the production needed and fill demand. Over the years, we have fostered close relationships with our growers and we value their contribution to the operation.

Regular seed contracts include crops such as annual ryegrass, triticale, peas, oats, barley, ryegrain, wheat, turf and specialty. Our growers are located mostly in Oregon and Washington but if the right opportunity presents itself, we will establish a relationship in another place. Seed is processed in our on-site facility and we ensure that the seed is cleaned to the best possible quality.

Ioka Marketing provides their growers with help for their contracted acres. We assist with certification field sign ups, logistics, seed stock, and advice on crop management.

Honoring the past, Ioka is named from a Chinook Indian word meaning “a thing of loveliness” or “a cherished piece of land noted for its beauty, health, and fertility”.
