Each year, farmers plant and grow soybeans, summer wheat, or winter wheat. After the harvest, they transport the seeds to production facilities, where the seeds are conditioned for later use. The seeds are cleaned, then coated with herbicides and insecticides before being packaged and distributed to various outlets for sale.
