”As we looked at our distribution and what is happening with cover crops, it was obvious that we needed to have a strategically located facility to advance our plant breeding efforts and to promote the varieties that we and our global partners have developed.” stated Jerry Hall, President of Grassland Oregon.
“The opening of this location reaffirms our commitment to our distributors in providing them with the best genetics the world has to offer. It is our intention for this facility to also serve as a training and educational resource for our distributors and their sales staff. We are excited about the opportunity to involve our distributors earlier in the varietal development process”
