Harris Moran, part of the largest independently owned seed company in the world, is pleased to announce the addition of John Molyet to its North American sales team.

Molyet, who grew up on an Ohio farm and has a deep knowledge of vegetable production both fresh and processing, will sell Harris Moran seed in the Upper Midwest, the Northeast, and eastern Canada.

Dan Bailey, Eastern Regional Sales Manager, said Molyet's lifelong background in agriculture will serve him well in his new position.

"He's had experience in evaluating new varieties and introducing them to growers. So his main focus will be to help our dealers evaluate and introduce new varieties for fresh market growers within this market."

Molyet comes to Harris Moran from Hirzel Canning Company where he was an agriculture manager, overseeing 30 processing tomato growers.

He has a degree in crop production from The Ohio State University. He will be based in Ohio.

Harris Moran is part of the largest independently owned seed company in the world. It is owned by Groupe Limagrain, a cooperative owned, run, and operated by farmers.

Harris Moran breeds innovative vegetable varieties designed to boost yield, reduce chemical inputs, and increase freshness, flavor and fruit quality from plow to plate. The Modesto, CA-company breeds vegetables for markets in more than 65 countries.
