S&W Seed Company (NasdaqCM: SANW), a leader in breeding and developing alfalfa seed varieties, announced that Charles "Chip" Seidler was elected to its board of directors on June 11, 2010.

In July 2010, Mr. Seidler will join Nomura Securities as a senior member of a proprietary trading group in New York City. For the last three years, he has been employed by Deutsche Bank, most recently as part of a proprietary trading group based in Tokyo, Japan.
