Golden Acres Genetics, Ltd. president Lou Buice has been elected to the Independent Professional Seed Association (IPSA) Board of Directors.

“I am honored to serve with an organization such as IPSA that is dedicated to promoting the interests and capabilities of independent seed companies,” Buice commented. “The future looks bright and independent seed companies remain optimistic about their success in an increasingly competitive marketplace. IPSA works hard to represent these companies as they continue to prosper, and I look forward to being an active partner in that.”

Buice has spent virtually his entire lifetime in agriculture. Throughout his thirty year career he has held numerous sales and marketing management positions within the seed, crop protection, and animal health markets. As the President of Golden Acres Genetics, an independent and family-owned seed company based in Waco, Texas, Buice knows firsthand the importance of the research, business development and education projects that IPSA undertakes.

A member of IPSA since 2007, Buice began his three-year term on the nine-member Board of Directors last month. Buice has served previously as President, First Vice President and Chairman of the Finance Committee for the Texas Seed Trade Association.

Lou and his wife Regina have two sons, J.T. and Ty and reside in Waco, Texas.
