OUR ROOTS RUN DEEP in Nebraska
Arrow Seed was established in Broken Bow, Nebraska in 1946. The
company has been under the same family ownership since 1954 with 4
generations working/have worked in the business. Facilities include
60,000 square feet of seed conditioning, distribution and retail space
located in Broken Bow. While forage legumes, grasses, and forage and
grain sorghums are a major part of the business, related lines of food
plots and cover crops are increasingly important to the company and its
customers.
Arrow Seed conditions and packages seeds that are well adapted to the
area and purchases seed from established companies in other states of
those species that cannot be produced economically in Nebraska. As many
as 32 different seed species have been conditioned through company
facilities in a year’s time. Seed packaging includes the capability to
package in small pack bags, bags, totes, and bulk. An up-to-date seed
cleaning plant efficiently cleans seed crops of legumes, small grains,
grasses, sorghums, and millet. Strict seed handling systems and
procedures prevent contamination. Equipment is in place to utilize all
physical properties of seed in the conditioning process a product to
meet the high standards necessary to carry the ARROW SEED tag.
Forage, Small Grain, and Turfgrass Products are provided to over 150
dealers in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, and South Dakota. Food Plot Mixes
are distributed through a network of Pro-shops, land managers, and
retail stores in the Eastern half of the US. Other customers include
government agencies, golf courses, landscape contractors, and other seed
companies.
As an independent supplier, Arrow Seed selects seed varieties from top
breeding programs for performance and adaptation to the Central Plains.
The seeds and other products marketed are selected after a thorough and
careful evaluation process.

to ag producers. Distribution is strategically located in the center of
the service area. Arrow Seed can react quickly to seasonal changes in
crop needs. Storage facilities provide adequate space for ample
