I got out of vegetable seeds about a decade ago. My tendency to make the brown-nosers look absolutely stupid became a liability once I hit upper management. Imagine a plant breeder with a talent for computers, logistics, marketing and sales. I asked all the "wrong" questions.
Currently running my own seed dealership/research activities for row crops.
Damn. That’ll happen.
Nice work getting out of the business. Corporations can really crush your soul. I bailed on my plant breeding background because I prefer the data side.
What kinda seed you selling these days?
Just about anything except vegetable seeds.
Field corn, alfalfa, cereals, hay grasses, forage crops, turfgrass, covercrops, native grasses, flower seed etc. I never quite know what I will be moving next.
You can’t possibly have time to breed all those different crops, so do you just buy from independent breeding/production programs, and sell retail?
Sounds pretty entertaining. Just working with local growers, or all over the nation?
Lol no I only doing a little breeding as a hobby now (Halloween pumpkins).
Last count I had 14 different suppliers from local to internationals.
I have dealerships, distributorships, as well as open market suppliers. I do both wholesale and retail.
Basically, I don't go fishing enough.
