UniSouth Genetics has officially launched it's own website. If you have been surfing here to get your USG variety information, it is now available along with other important information at www.usgseed.com. We will continue to carry USG variety information that is pertinent to the Tennessee region.

UniSouth Genetics, Inc.'s early group V variety USG 5002T has been named the USDA's early group V check to go along with the USG 5601T.

University of Tennessee's soybean release USG 5601T has been named the USDA's check variety for all of their uniform soybean variety testing.
