The team at Mycorrhizal Applications (MA) has gained a new Midwest sales account manager, Melissa Flora. Melissa will support the continued growth and development of this Southern Oregon-based manufacturing company. Melissa is based in the Detroit, Michigan region, and will support growers and green industry professionals in the Midwest.
