The Giants are back… and
they’re better than ever. The newest installment of Seed World’s
groundbreaking video series, Giant Views of the Industry
Online, is available at
www.seedworld.com.
 This
streaming video series features interviews with leading thinkers
in the seed industry. Updated on a monthly basis, you can now
access the
interview with Pat Hinner, President of Agra Industries, a
45 year old family business that is dedicated to providing the
seed, feed, grain, milling, fertilizer and ethanol industries
with a single source for their facility and in-plant equipment
needs.
Hinner discusses the importance of research and development to
continual innovation in his business and the impact of the
alternative fuel trend on corn and soybean production and its
resulting effect on the seed industry.
While Hinner is the newest Giant found on the Seed World web
site, you can also watch any previous interviews you may have
missed, like
Bill Goodbar, Managing Director at AgriCapital, an
investment banking firm specialized in agribusiness, who shares
his views on the future of consolidation in the seed industry,
and
Andrew LaVigne, President and CEO of the American Seed Trade
Association, who encourages proactive communication about the
industry. You can also find the comments of Canadian Seed Trade
Association President,
Dorothy Murrell, who speaks about the challenges facing the
Canadian seed industry.
Giant Views of the Industry is now brought to you in an easy to
use format that breaks the interview down into bite-sized pieces
so you can view the topics you want when you want, without
having to watch the entire video in one sitting. Just click on
any of the one to two minute long segments you wish to view.
Giant Views of the Industry is part of the Seed World family of

Seed World web site, and
the
Seed Week weekly e-newsletter. Seed World reaches decision
makers across the breadth of the seed sector in America,
including distributors, retailers, breeders, wholesalers,
