Germains Seed Technology recently welcomed Casey Bloomquist and Travis Whitney as two new key account managers on the North American Commercial Team. As key account managers, both Bloomquist and Whitney will act as customer liaisons for Germains through service, field trial programs, and strategic development to help drive new product innovation.
Bloomquist will focus on accounts in California’s Central Valley and Santa Maria Valley as well as Arizona and Texas. He graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a degree in Agricultural Business and recently worked as an Assistant Ranch Manager at Grimmway Farms, farming both conventional and organic crops.
