Mueller will be responsible for product selection and product
support for Dairyland Seed. Mueller has been in the seed
industry for fourteen years. The last five years he has served
as the hybrid corn research coordinator for Dairyland Seed. As a

Leader for Dairyland Seed.
In his role, Mueller will provide specific placement
recommendation across the Midwest for Dairyland’s Stealth hybrid
corn lineup and its HiD.F. silage lineup. Both lineups will
feature a limited number of SmartStax hybrids for 2010.
