Primera is proud to feature Mountain View Seeds

History

Pratum Co-op was founded in 1946 and brought together the best farmers in the grass seed capital of the World, Oregon's' Willamette Valley. In 1988 Mountain View Seeds was founded to manage demand for Pratum’s private variety production and to help promote and market the exceptional seed produced by these growers. Mountain View Seeds' strategy was simple; licenses varieties from the best turfgrass breeders and then produce them with farmers that understood the importance of consistently providing clean, quality seed. The formula hasn't changed since then. MVS is devoted to developing grass seed of the highest genetic quality. We continually look for varieties with improved resistance to disease and pests. With a full spectrum of turf varieties, we can fulfill your seed needs. Our history in the industry ensures a consistent supply of high-quality products you and your customers can count on. We are celebrating our 25th year in business!

Market Focus

At Mountain View Seeds our primary market focus is high-quality grass seed for all users. Our strong relationships with universities and research facilities (PEAK and PARC) allow us to bring the most advanced genetics to market. But good genetics are not enough; our vertical integration with Pratum Co-op and their network of top producers allows us to consistently provide the quality and supply PRIMERA members demand. From golf to sports fields, sod farms, and home lawns, our products deliver.

We have several innovative products; Lateral Spread technology, Gray Leaf Spot resistance, salt tolerance and A-LIST approved products, just to name a few. As an industry leader in innovative products, we are constantly looking for solutions to turf managers' problems. While today it might be low-input, high-quality varieties, tomorrow it might be carbon sequestration, but you can rest assured that Mountain View Seeds will be the industry leader no matter what the needs might be.

Every individual at Mountain View Seeds contributes to the company's success. Working for an industry leader is something everyone enjoys. We take pride in the fact that our products are on some of the most recognized sports fields, golf courses, and park venues in the world. We love that our company is working towards making the world a better place! Our work on low-input, sustainable turf products gives us all a sense of hope and accomplishment you don't often find at other companies.

The key measure of success to us is customer satisfaction. Our ability to consistently do this is the catalyst for return business. We have a great group of people that are excited to come to work every day and fulfill our mission. Our management has created a culture that promotes and rewards those that exemplify the best in customer support. And of course, we couldn't fulfill our customers’ needs without top-quality products that help them be the best they can be.

Being a Primera supplier has allowed us to promote our products to several customers we otherwise would not have been exposed to. Subsequently, we have formed great partnerships with many of them. We also consider being a Primera supplier as one of the keys to further growth and expansion. In addition, we have made a number of great friendships within the Primera family. We value the ability to communicate and collaborate with our Primera partners.
