Also advancing America’s favorite bun topping is Rodrigo Franklin, Equinom’s additional Agronomist focused on Smarter Sesame. Rodrigo assists farmers throughout the entire growing process, from checking the seeds on the ground, all the way up to the harvest. Covering regions across south Texas, Rodrigo oversees around 20,000 acres of Smarter Sesame. For Rodrigo, a career in agronomy was evident. “When I was two years old, I moved with my family to a farm where my father grew sorghum and corn. Naturally, I followed in his footsteps and pursued a career as an agronomist” says Rodrigo. “I enjoy being out in the field, working with crops, managing different sites and most importantly, helping farmers get the most out of their crop”
