Choose the right perspective
Match the person's crops and scale to your situation, since hybrid corn, canola and vegetable seed production each involve different field, plant and quality work, and a single site differs from a regional or global program. Also consider whether you need help with field production, plant operations or supply planning, and pick someone whose roles centered on that part of the work.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you plan seed production volumes when demand forecasts are uncertain?
- 02What do you look for when choosing growers, locations or sites for seed production?
- 03How do you keep seed quality and purity under control from the field through processing?
