What important lessons have you learned during your years in the seed industry?

  • We have a sound and enduring seed infrastructure in the US, second to none in the world;

  • Hard work results in recognition and success in our industry;

  • Integrity is very important in this business;

  • Relationships are very important within certain seed commodity groups;

  • Opportunities abound for entrepreneurs as well as multi national companies;

  • Massive consolidations don’t work in our industry when basic or fundamental principles of price or cost versus value are ignored;

  • Seedsmen are among the finest people in the world!
