What have you learned in your years in the industry?
Nothing remains constant. Accept and search out new and improved methods of doing things. Continually question why you are doing something the same way year after year.

For many years the seed industry developed product using ‘tried and true’ breeding methodologies, which one cannot deny, worked. "The Green Revolution" is an example where plateaus were reached and gains became smaller. It was and is time for changes or, at least, time to try new things. It’s time to put theory into practice and move forward.
