During the Agribusiness Association of Iowa’s (AAI) Showcase, we had the chance to talk with many great agribusinesses of all shapes and sizes. One facet that is sometimes overlooked in the ag sphere is how much is being done by local, family-owned businesses for Iowa producers. Cornelius Seed is one of those strong businesses.

We had the chance to chat with James Cornelius at the trade show, and he talked about growing up as a 5th generation member of a family business.

The company has spread its footprint into Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota, and beyond.

They have partnered with Pivot Bio to help manage nitrogen loss with their corn products.

James talks about how they fared through the 2023 drought in their footprint.
