Smith. They produced several publications for the seed trade and provided the industry with information and crop reporting. Among these publications were the Seed Trade Buyers Guide and Seed World magazine, launched in 1915. In 1916 the Grain Standards Act was passed and Smith sold his interests in the publications to continue his flourishing business in equipment sales. Because of his focus on equipment sales, he became less involved with the publications. The Seed Trade Reporting Bureau was then reorganized, they shortened their original trade name and Bureau became “buro” to form the SEEDBURO EQUIPMENT COMPANY. The focus of Seedburo was to be the ‘go to’ source of equipment for the grain inspection offices, grain elevators, seed research and development companies, and the various food and feed manufacturing industries. Seedburo quickly became the largest distributor of testing and handling equipment in the United States.
