Sakata Seed America appoints new head grower
Sakata Seed America has appointed Noe Barajas as head grower and trial manager at its Salinas, California, research station.
Barajas brings over 30 years of growing experience and knowledge of crop management and product development, including key positions with Yoder Brothers, Color Spot Nursery and, most recently, Ernst Benary of America. His new responsibilities include managing all growing activity of ornamental flowers in support of Sakata sales and marketing, research and development, and production departments.
Development and successful marketing of new genetics to meet the demands of today’s evolving ornamental trade is a complex endeavor.
“Noe’s strong technical expertise and proven track record for growing a wide range of crops and managing greenhouse operations makes him the ideal addition to Sakata’s expanding flower team,” said Joe Cimino, senior managing director of Sakata Ornamentals.
