Lafayette Frederick was born in Dog Bog, Mississippi, and grew up with five brothers and sisters on a cotton farm in Missouri, where his sharecropper father taught him and other local kids in a one-room schoolhouse that doubled as a church. Working on the farm, Frederick became deeply interested in agriculture. He remembers studying flower structure in a biology textbook, then finding he could learn more by just taking apart a flower from the family's garden.
