The Brock Seed Company, based in El Centro, California, has a rich history spanning nearly 90 years in the cultivation of asparagus. Founded by brothers Don and Dave Brock, who are third-generation farmers, the company has been at the forefront of developing and growing asparagus varieties suitable for arid and semi-arid regions. With their extensive research and plant breeding, they introduced their first commercial variety, Brock Imperial, in 1984, followed by the release of Early California in 2004. Both Don and Dave Brock, who hold Bachelor degrees in agriculture from the University of California at Davis, have made significant contributions to the agricultural industry. Don served as Executive Assistant to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and was actively involved in various professional and civic organizations. Dave, on the other hand, has participated in seminars and graduate courses offered by renowned universities and has been a member of several agricultural associations. Together, the Brock family continues to shape the asparagus farming landscape in California, Arizona, and Mexico.Generated from the website
