Our beginnings can be traced back to the 1920's when Donald McIntyre began farming 600 acres near Casselton, North Dakota. As the farm prospered, Donald
recognized the need for quality certified seed and built the first of our seed plants in
1966. As our clients and their needs grew--and as the number of seed varieties
exploded--a second seed plant was added in 1975. Soon after this Donald, his
wife Lily, his children Duane and Marlyce, and their spouses Paula and Harvey
formed McIntyre-Pyle Seeds, Inc..
In June of 1990, McIntyre-Pyle Seeds gave way to become the Unity Seed Company when
our two families formed a marketing company for the seed we grow. With this
change we soon became affiliated with
Gold Country Seed
and WestBred, LLC.
which necessitated the creation of a dealer network to handle our expanding
product line. An additional diversification, which complimented our seed
business, was the addition of Identity Preserved food-grade soybean processing,
both domestic and foreign. This new venture brings an extra marketing
opportunity for our seed customers, and we will continue to look for new
opportunities as the business of agriculture continues to change.
