Dick’s commitment to providing second-to-none service and product has remained unchanged for over forty years – since he began New Horizon Seed with his wife, Elaina, in 1979. He values the relationships he has developed in the seed industry and those he has established with customers whom he considers his family. When he’s not out meeting with growers, Dick is gardening, entertaining the Frontiersmen family in his home, or traveling.
