Mycogen Seeds is expanding its market by placing three contacts in different locations throughout the western United States.
Vernal Gomes, Dairy Account Manager, was hired in July to develop the company’s growing California market.
Dr. Peter Hill, Dairy Account Manager and Sales Representative, previously held an Agronomist position with Mycogen Seeds for the southern Plains district before moving to Texas in August to fulfill his new responsibilities.
Paul Lloyd, Dairy Account Manager, is the newest member of the Western team having joined Mycogen Seeds in September. He resides in Idaho.
Gomes, Hill and Lloyd will be responsible for the sales for Mycogen Seeds, specifically MYCOGEN® brand SILAGE-SPECIFIC™ corn hybrids, in their areas.
“The importance for Mycogen Seeds to infiltrate these areas continues to be significant with the large number of dairies that have established in these geographies,” says Greg Cannon, Marketing Specialist, Mycogen Seeds. “As the industry leader, we pride ourselves in providing producers with quality nutritional support to maximize milk production, and providing knowledgeable individuals in this region will make that support available.”
As the leader in SILAGE-SPECIFIC hybrids, Mycogen Seeds offers the largest corn silage breeding program in the industry.
“Our breeding program is focused on breeding for key silage factors,” Cannon continues. “We focus on the nutritional aspects of silage, not just tonnage.”
The Mycogen Seeds research department constantly seeks to further the development of MYCOGEN brand SILAGE-SPECIFIC corn hybrids by eventually providing Mycogen Seeds customers with nutritionally enhanced corns, and alternative uses for SILAGE-SPECIFIC BMR and other corn silage hybrids.
