He has a true passion for putting our customers first, and values Legend’s commitment toward providing high quality, local customer service, while offering the top genetics, traits and technologies in the industry,” says Davis.

Bratland brings 28 years of experience in the seed industry, and currently serves as the 2018 Independent Professional Seed Association (IPSA) president which represents the unique needs of independent seed companies and promotes the interests and capabilities of regional seed companies.

“Every day we work to improve our processes, procedures, and structure. We want to understand the needs of our valued customers and ensure we deliver high-quality products, support, and service. With our engaged team, and continued focus on these core areas, I am optimistic about our future,” Bratland says. “I value my long-standing relationship with Glen and Janet.
