Caudill Seed Celebrates its 75th Anniversary

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Caudill Seed Company announces its 75^th consecutive year of operations as of August 1, 2022. The company was founded by Forrest Caudill, who after returning from service in the Navy and Marines began Caudill Seed Company. When Forrest was asked why he didn’t return to the farm life after being discharged from the Marine Base at Camp Pendleton, CA, he stated that fighting in World War II was a vacation compared to milking cows on his farm in Kentucky. With that in mind, he never milked another cow in his life. Forrest Caudill began the seed business in Shelbyville, Kentucky, and moved the business to Louisville, Kentucky in 1959. Caudill Seed is now a diversified agricultural products-based corporation operating from three distribution facilities in Kentucky, four processing plants across the Midwest, and an office in Salem, Oregon.
