Who is Channel
Channel specializes in corn and soybeans. The Channel seed brand was created to fill the farmer’s need for a trusted, knowledgeable adviser. Each day, we strive to deliver the best customer service in the industry by knowing our customers and the products that work best on their fields.
At Performance Ag Indiana, we make it a priority to learn about our customers and their farms first. Then that knowledge is used to help plan the season and provide personalized service through seeding, vegetative, reproductive and maturity stages of the growing season. Seedsmanship is about our products, helping transform the latest innovations into decision-making tools. The Channel Field Check Up Series allows us to work with our customers throughout the growing season to provide year round service solution.

Field Check Up Series
We don't mind getting our boots muddy, so we'll walk right beside you to evaluate crop development and guide you through any challenges you may face throughout the growing season. Our goal is to know you, your fields, and your business to be available as a sounding board when you need it. We know every field is different, that's why we're going to be with you through each stage of the growing season:
In-Season Delivery...On Demand!
You can do the best planning in the world...but field conditions can vary and change - and you find yourself a bag or two short planting that last field. Don't worry - we keep many of our popular varieties in stock during planting season and we're just a phone call away. We'll deliver to your shop or to the field!
Seed Treatment
Corn
Corn seed treatments help maximize the full benefits of Channel brand corn products with the early season insect and disease fighting protection of Acceleron Seed Treatment Products. Protects from secondary insect pests such as wireworm, seedcorn maggot and white grub. Provides protection from soil and seed borne diseases, including Fusarium, Rhizoctonia and Pythium.
Channel brand seed corn is also available with Poncho/VOTiVO a biological mode of action that introduces a new way to protect seedlings and roots against nematodes. The combination Poncho®/VOTivO® at the 500mg/kernel and 1250mg/kernel rate of Acceleron Seed Treatment Products offers more complete protection against nematodes.
Soybeans
In soybeans Acceleron Seed Treatment Products can help improve plant health through disease-fighting protectioin, insect protection, and improved early season vigor. Provides excellent control of Rhizoctonia, Pythium, Fusarium and Phytophthora from an exclusive enhanced fungicide combination. It helps to improve plant health through more rapid and increased emergence of seedlings under certain cold conditons. Provides protection from early-season insect pests, such as bean leaf beetles and early-season aphids.
Channel brand soybeans also will be available with Poncho®/VOTiVO®, a seed treatment option that can protect early season-seedlings from numerous nematode pests.
Downstream Treating
In 2016, Performance Ag Indiana successfully completed in house treating of near 2,000 units of Soybeans. We strive to both save our customers money and get them exactly what they need-when they need it. In 2017, we made plans to install a permanent seed treater in our NEW facility that would be able to handle larger volumes of seed with great efficiency. We've purchased an LPV treater from USC that will treat 800 units an hour.
That's Seedsmanship at Work!

In preparation for the 2019 Planting Season, our LPV treater has been installed in our new facility and is ready to treat seed for our growers! Stay tuned for photo's!
