History of
Legacy Ag Solutions
Choosing the right seed is the cornerstone of a successful harvest, but in reality, it is just one piece of the puzzle. At Legacy Ag Solutions, you’re not just selecting a local retailer with an extensive catalog of genetics and traits. You’re selecting a team fully committed to the health of your fields and the success of your yields.
Legacy Ag Solutions was founded in 2005 by Iowa agronomist, Tyler Rees.
What began as an independent regional seed company with a vast catalog of seed, has since grown into so much more. Joined by co-owners Chris Graf - Precision Ag Lead, and Woody Orne - Agronomy Consulting Lead, the team at Legacy Ag Solutions has brought life to Tyler’s original vision of creating a full service, fully sustainable agronomic hub.
The team is continually innovating to simplify complex decisions for Iowa growers. They’re each asking new questions, creating new knowledge, and raising the bar on what it means to be the top agronomy resource in Southeast Iowa.
Today the Legacy Ag Solutions team offers Southeast Iowa growers:
Customers Agree.

At Legacy Ag Solutions we understand that you have other irons in the fire – beyond the farm. That's why we strive to offer our growers a local, comprehensive, one-stop agronomic hub for enhancing the health and performance of your fields. Our services include seed, biologicals, customized prescriptions, soil sampling, and data management. This comprehensive approach ensures you can rest easy, knowing you have just one phone call to make at the start or end of each season. By partnering with us you won’t just leave behind a successful farm for future generations. You’ll be leaving behind a lasting legacy.
