In the fall of 1939 E. C. Tally purchased farm land near Justin, Texas and began growing seed wheat and oats. Justin Seed Company was incorporated in 1958 by the second generation seedsman. Development of hybrid forages lead to expanding into forage production and introducing related products to the agricultural market.

Justin Seed Co. continues to offer a full line of small grains, forages, sorghums, cover crops, legumes, turf grasses, wildflowers, and native and improved grasses.  2015 welcomed increased seed cleaning and native grass harvesting capacity.
