Bayer CropScience is about to cut the ribbon on the grand opening of Greenhouse 5 in RTP, NC. I’m here for the grand opening and will be conducting interviews and learning more about this new facility and the kind of work Bayer is doing in the seed and trait area.

To get a preview I spoke with Scott Kohne during the dinner get together for our group at Chatham Hill Winery. Our group got a fascinating tour from Marek Wojciechowski, Owner/Winemaker, that included a barrel tasting and a post dinner wine tasting. Let’s just say I know where to get some good North Carolina wine!

Scott says that “Bayer wants to show that we are growing a business in this seeds and traits industry. We’re traditionally known as more of a chemical company but we are expanding and growing a seeds and traits business that we feel will be a large and key competitor for this type of seeds and traits activity.”
