About Sutton Ag

Throughout our 60+ years serving U.S. agriculture, Sutton Agricultural Enterprises has been a pioneer in pest bird and precision seed planting. These fields have changed dramatically in recent years, and we have stayed at the forefront of developements to continually serve your changing needs and the demands for greater efficiency, economy and yield.

Established in 1956, W.V. Clow Seed Co. was originally an independent seed dealership with its strongest sales emphasis in vegetable seed for the Salinas Valley. In addition to seed sales, the company helped establish bird scaring pyrotechnics and Stanhay planters. In 1973, the company was purchased by John Sutton, who maintained Bill Clow's strong tradition of service and product knowledge. 

The company name changed to Sutton Agricultural Enterprises in 1982, reflecting the new emphasis: to specialize in the planting and bird control needs of precision agriculture. Building on its reputation for customer service and reliability, the Sutton family expanded the product list to include vacuum seed planters, granular applicators, leafy greens harvesters, precision weeding equipment, a wider variety of allied products, and a more comprehensive bird control line.

Continual improvements in production agriculture have spurred Sutton Ag's development of specialized equipment to support growth. Our motto since the beginnning remains our goal today... "to be specilaists for the most critical trade".
