Ahern at Woodland 2026: Connecting Innovation, Genetics, and the Field

At Ahern, we know that staying on the cutting edge of innovation is essential to continuing to offer better options to growers. That’s why our team attended Woodland 2026 in California, one of the key events for gaining firsthand insight into the advancements that are transforming the vegetable seed industry.

During our visit, we had the opportunity to meet with strategic partners such as Bayer, Syngenta, and HM.CLAUSE, among others, touring their demonstration fields and learning about new varieties, developments in plant breeding, and solutions designed to address the major challenges currently facing agriculture.

From Genetic Development to Grower Needs

Participating in these types of events allows us to observe the performance of new materials directly in the field, exchange technical knowledge with specialists, and understand the direction of innovation in different crops and markets.

Beyond introducing new varieties, Woodland offers an opportunity to identify promising solutions for our growers and evaluate key characteristics such as adaptability, productivity, fruit quality, disease resistance, and agronomic performance.

This exchange of knowledge strengthens our ability to continue building a competitive portfolio that is aligned with the market’s actual needs.

Relationships That Drive Better Solutions

Agricultural innovation is also built through collaboration. These meetings allow us to strengthen our relationships with our seed companies and foster conversations that link international genetic development with the specific conditions and needs of growers in Mexico and North America.

For Ahern, staying close to our partners, the countryside, and new technologies is part of our commitment to bringing alternatives to the market that create value throughout the entire supply chain.

Our participation in Woodland 2026 reaffirms an approach that has guided us throughout our history: staying at the forefront of innovation to bring better solutions to the field.
