Leading cotton planting seed producer & marketer Delta and Pine Land Company announced that two long-time employees will be assuming additional responsibility as part of the technical services leadership transition which began last month.
Tom Speed, currently regional technical services director for the High Plains, will assume responsibility for Arizona, California and Mexico. Jim Bosch, who has held a local field agronomist role in South Texas, will become regional agronomy manager for Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri and Texas.
These new roles are effective July 1. Ken Lege remains the regional technical services director for the southeastern U.S., which is comprised of the eight states east of the Mississippi River.
Tom Speed has worked with the company's technical services team since 1995 based in Lubbock, Texas.
“At one time, people outside of Texas viewed the High Plains as a uniform production area but the market has learned what Tom's known for a long time – there is significant variation in production systems and environments there,” according to Dave Albers who is transitioning into the position of vice president of technical services.
“Tom has the experience of working with growers and others at D&PL to find products that perform well in diverse – and sometimes adverse – conditions. He has worked with virtually all of our upland varieties as well as Pimas, which will enable him to make immediate contributions in the far west.”
