Welcome

At F. W. Rickard Seeds, we’ve been committed to the tobacco producer for over 70 years. Just like you, in order to be successful we have to manage our input costs more efficiently and still increase our production and quality standards. This is easier said than done. Our goal is to supply you with a premium product at an affordable price, along with the purest and highest germinating tobacco seed possible and the greatest number of varietal alternatives.

In 2009, F. W. Rickard Seeds released PVH 2110 as an alternative for growers satisfied with K326 but seeking higher yields. In 2010, F. W. Rickard Seeds has released PVH 1452, a high yielding flue-cured hybrid with bacterial wilt resistance, resistance to black shank race 0, and moderate resistance to black shank race 1.

For F. W. Rickard Seeds to continue to be as efficient as possible, we continue to produce seed in our ProfiGen do Brasil facility, as well as our production sites in Tennessee and Kentucky. Whether you produce flue-cured, dark or burley tobacco, we understand the uncertainties in your business.

When you use seed from F. W. Rickard Seeds, Inc., you have one less thing to worry about.
