He earned both his bachelor’s and mas- ter’s degrees in agriculture from Arkansas State University. After graduation, Kelly went to work for the University of Arkansas under Dr. Lanny Ashlock. After about a year the Production Manager at Cullum Seeds left and Sherman offered the job to Kelly, who held that position until 1997. “I took care of all the production, so everything that was being sold the next year, I was in charge of at the field level. When I got done with the seed on the production side, my dad took it and ran it through the seed plants and got it ready for sale, then Sherman and Dad would sell it. That circle really worked out well for us.” Mark Waldrip was born into a farming family in Moro, Arkansas. Mark says that one of his earliest memories was going with his dad around the farm. “I remem- ber following my dad around behind the planter,” he says. “He was already trying to teach me when I was five or six years old. We were looking at the rows and he was uncovering some of the seed, and I thought, ‘This is important. You need to pay at- tention to this!’” Mark graduated from Marianna High School in Marianna, Arkansas, and attended the University of Arkansas, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Agricul- tural Economics and Agribusiness. After graduation Mark returned to Moro and resumed farming with his family. He began to expand his family’s farming business and became active in both his local community and the agricultural community in Arkansas. Longtime Armor employee Catina Ashlock remembers meeting Mark Wald- rip when she worked for Tri-County Farmers Supply in Marianna. “When I first met Mark he would come into Tri-County with a solid color Hanes t-shirt and khaki pants on with hip boots rolled down at the knee,” she says. “You could always find his truck parked on the edge of the road and him standing out in a rice field.” By July of 2010 at a corn plot tour, Curt Preston and Matthew Harvey were seasoned veterans at Armor Seed. They helped to expand Armor Seed in Eastern Arkansas down the Mississippi River Delta.
