Midstates

Seed research for Midstates Ag Services is done by the foremost geneticist and researcher in sorghums in the world, Dr. Fred Miller, who has developed over 1700 sorghum materials and published over 350 articles on sorghum varieties, development and cultivation.

Dr. Miller was educated primarily at Texas A&M University, earning degrees in Business, Agronomy and Plant Breeding, and then moving on to positions in research and serving on the faculty of Texas A&M.

His research included evaluation, incorporation, and dispersal of diversification within grain and food types of sorghum, with specific interest in collection, enhancement and utilization of sorghums from Africa, Asia, China and South America.

His goals were to combine desirable agronomic, physiologic, pathologic and food quality traits into useful productive, stable sorghums for use in tropical and subtropical area. His accomplishments in this research resulted with increased yields and stability of harvestable grain sorghum with superior food/grain quality worldwide.

Dr. Miller currently serves as Vice President and Senior Sorghum Breeder in MMR Genetics, located in Vega, Texas. His primary responsibility there is to develop superior grain and forage sorghums for licensing to third-parties. Research and cultivation emphasis is upon stable late, medium and early maturing grain sorghums and new high quality forage sorghums, especially brown midrib and photoperiod sensitive types (for direct pasture, hay, green chop, silage, and renewable energy) for use around the world.
