Like the rewards program that they have, so far we have gotten a miller welder and plasma cutter and a new welding helmet one year, got a nice Dragonfiretools tool bench this past year. They seem to focus on quality rewards. I like the free replant policy that they have. The yields have been better than the Dekalb numbers we had side by side and slightly better than the pioneer two years ago in co...

I have planted some with good luck but have not had the extra cost of their seed (mostly their seed treatment) pay for me yet. I did have a buddy get a new snowmobile last year, he has been very h...

Might be ok if at a high enough level to get it for nothing.
