U.S. Product Manager
Beneficial Insectary
Cody Seals first began his journey into the world of plant pests and diseases while pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Plant and Soil Science from Middle Tennessee State University. He worked for the University of Tennessee’s extension program in conjunction with USDA-APHIS on the state CAPS program, monitoring, and trapping for invasive pests. After completion of his bachelor’s degree, he was offered an opportunity to attend the University of Tennessee as a master’s student within the Entomology and Plant Pathology department. With a focus on determining the ecology of cannabis produced in the Southeast, once he completed his master’s degree he remained in the cannabis space and began working with farmers across the southeast to navigate this new crop. He joined the Beneficial Insectary team in 2022 as U.S. Product Manager.
