Our customized isolation program allows you to specify the parameters, which can include distance from other plantings; natural isolations, such as trees,
woods, rivers and wetlands; manmade barriers, such as cities; other plantings around your crop; or timing of your planting.

Draw On Our Decades Of Experience
As a division of Fred Gutwein & Sons Inc., Indiana Small Plots is backed by
decades of knowledge, skill, experience and integrity.
Embracing honest Midwestern values, Fred Gutwein’s motto when he began his seed business in 1936 was a simple, straightforward adaptation of the Golden
Rule: “Don’t put a seed in a bag that you wouldn’t plant yourself.”
While Fred’s business has grown and changed over four generations to meet the needs of our continually evolving agricultural industry, that value remains
central today in all we do.
