Stokes Seeds identifies internship participant

Buffalo, New York-based Stokes Seeds has hired Dominick Levari for its 2018 summer internship program. The program is a collaboration between Stokes Seeds and Seminis, focused on identifying new talent and providing enhanced support to customers through product trialing and sales support.

As part of the comprehensive internship program, Levari will also visit growers in several states, review new products and work with Seminis representatives across the region. In addition to his standard responsibilities, he will be completing a keystone project over the course of the summer to be presented to Stokes Seeds management at the end of the internship.

“We are pleased to partner with Seminis on this program and look forward to Dominick’s contributions to both our customers and sales team”, said Bruce Ulmer, U.S. sales manager for Stokes Seeds.
