Landmark Seed Appoints Director of International Sales Landmark Seed Company has hired Terry Ewacha as the new Director of International Sales starting September 5, 2023. Terry grew up on a mixed grain/livestock farm in southern Manitoba, Canada. Seed production was always a part of their operation and eventually replaced the livestock

From there, he progressed to Facility Manager in Winnipeg, western Canada’s Facilities Supervisor, Export/Domestic Wholesale Director, western Canadian Retail Director, and most recently Executive Vice President in charge of western Canadian operations and wholesale/retail business segments under the DLF Pickseed brand. “We are very excited to have Terry Ewacha join our team.
