D&PL rang the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange Monday for their 10 year anniversary. I wonder if they all had to ride bikes to get there with the transit strike that’s going on.

Among the people present for the bell ringing were several members of the board of directors (Tom Jagodinski, Murray Robinson, Nam Hai Chua, Stanley Roth and Joe Murphy) and D&PL employees Rick Greene, Rhonda Strickland and Dorothy Andrus.

“The past decade has been a time of innovation for D&PL and the farmers who plant our varieties,” Jag said. “We have brought our customers new breakthroughs in genetics and technology by having a vision and working hard to realize that. Farmers are, by nature, independent people. They appreciate the entrepreneurship D&PL offers and the fact that we can partner with several suppliers. Those are some of the reasons they’ve chosen to invest their money in our products and stock – we are proud that they have chosen to invest their money [of that investment] in our plan for growth.”
