GO Seed is pleased to announce the hiring of Dr. Trent Tate as Plant Breeder.
We are thrilled to add Dr. Tate to our research team,” said Jerry Hall, President of GO Seed. “His experience in both cool-season and warm-season grass breeding will prove to be a valuable addition to our research team. We look forward to involving him in our legume and forb breeding program as well. He brings a high attention to detail and an uncompromising ethic of delivering quality.”
“It is important that we continually invest and challenge ourselves when it comes to research. Our goal is to remain the leader in turf, forage, and cover crop breeding,” added Hall. “Seed distributors, farmers, and homeowners see GO Seed as the innovators in the seed marketplace and count on us to deliver novel solutions for their growing concerns.”
Dr. Tate brings a passion for plant breeding that started as an undergrad at the University of Georgia. This passion grew as he pursued his Master’s degree under the tutelage of noted warm-season grass breeder, Dr. Paul Raymer. Under the advice of Dr. Raymer, he relocated to New Jersey where he obtained his PhD in Plant Biology with Dr. William Meyer, where he received the prestigious Spencer Davis Research Award.
“I am excited to be part of such a progressive research team. The opportunity to develop new varieties and work with new species further reinforces my passion for plant breeding.” Said Dr. Tate. “The process of making selections, putting together a cross, ultimately resulting in the release of a unique and highly beneficial product is profoundly fulfilling.”
