Nathan Boardman Email & Phone Number

In 1962, I hired on with a small sorghum seed company in Crosbyton, Texas, when hybrid sorghum seed technology was fairly new. I developed a program using cotton as isolation from contaminant pollen and achieved low incidences of out-crossing. In 1972 Crosbyton Seed Company was formed, and at peak, achieved providing thirty to thirty-five percent of the annual grain sorghum seed acreage planted by US farmers. After selling the company at the end of 2009, I retired from the seed industry. During these years, I was honored to be the recipient of several awards from my peers. In 1994, I received the Outstanding Ag Business Award from the Texas Tech College of Agriculture. In 1999, I was recognized as the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Outstanding Alumni. In 2000-2001, I served as the president of the American Seed Trade Association and later received an honorary lifetime membership. I continue to stay active with the American Seed Trade Association (ASTA) and the US Grains Council, where I have been a member for 40 years representing ASTA.
