Nutritional Resilience
We are bridging the gap between advanced genetics and practical agriculture by developing the next generation of Hi-Flav Corn & Sorghum varieties.
We are bridging the gap between advanced genetics and practical agriculture by developing the next generation of Hi-Flav Corn & Sorghum varieties.
We are validating the use of Hi-Flav corn as a functional feed ingredient. Rich in natural anthocyanins and antioxidants, our varieties are designed to improve gut health and immunity in flocks, offering producers a pathway to reduce antibiotic usage while maintaining high production standards.
We provide craft distillers with a unique competitive edge through our specialized grains. Our varieties impart vibrant natural red and purple pigments alongside novel flavor profiles, allowing for the creation of distinctive, high-value spirits that stand out on the shelf.
Farmers face increasing abiotic stresses from changing climates. Our sorghum and corn varieties are bred for superior resilience and stress tolerance, allowing growers to reduce chemical inputs and secure identity-preserved contracts for high-value output.
Bryan bridges the gap between breeding science and field application. He oversees the technical development and field testing of Hi-Flav varieties, ensuring agronomic performance meets grower standards.
