As Virginia Tech’s new small grains breeder, Nicholas Santantonio hopes to expand on the successes built by long-term Virginia Tech breeder Carl Griffey who retired to his native Tennessee in January.
“Carl built one of the most successful small grain breeding programs in the country. It was his baby that he nurtured seven days a week. I am honored to take over and continue the great program that he built,” Santantonio said.
