experience Seed the Twin CIty Seed Co. Way

COMMUNITY

As an agricultural and grass seed and erosion control product distributor, the success of our industry is intrinsically linked to the sustaining of our planet as much as it is to our local environment. That is why Twin City Seed is committed to giving back to research-based institutions dedicated to the improvement of our industry and its ability to provide environmental protection.

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BEE SQUAD

Since Twin City Seed partnered with the University of Minnesota’s Bee Lab to develop its unique Bee Lawn Mix, TCS has given 5 percent of Bee Lawn sales to the U of M’s Bee Squad, an education and outreach extension of the University’s Bee Lab. Its mission is to promote the conservation, health and diversity of bee pollinators through research, education, and hands-on mentorship. Find out more about the Bee Squad.

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA TROE CENTER

2022 is TCS’s 30th anniversary and what better way to celebrate than to give back! So TCS approached Dr. Erik Watkins, head of turfgrass research at the University of Minnesota, and submitted an application to donate 5% of our turfgrass sales to U of M TROE Center for turfgrass science research. Their research directly benefits turfgrass managers in our region with ongoing projects focused on environmental protection, production and management, and breeding and genetics.

This has real-world implications for all our turf clients including:

Determining the turf grasses that require the least amount of water/fertilizer to maintain beauty and resiliency i.e., drought tolerance
Screening grasses for resistance to disease
Means and methods for increased environmental sustainability overall
