Chris Edingfield

Devoted Merchandiser knowledgeable about fertilizer and grain sales strategies. Organized, hardworking and focused on driving sales through optimized merchandising techniques that separate us from our competitors. Proven success in planning and multitasking to accomplish challenging targets.

I single handily started a container export program which allowed us to go from 1.25 million bushels annually to over 5 million bushels the past 5 years. I have experience in rail loadings, container loadings and domestic truck sales both FOB and on a delivered basis.

I am a loyal and hardworking individual who loves the grain industry. I also manage a fleet of 10-12 trucks taking care of their dispatching and rail billing if and when they are loading containers.

I have also managed our fertilize position for multiple locations for over 20 years doing 100% of the buying and setting the price sheet for the farmers.

I also headed up our seed division for a period of over 10 years and seen our seed sales grow from 7000 units to 35,000 units while we implemented a Plenish, (Low Lin) program to utilize our Pioneer dealership to create a specialty crop that allowed the elevator to source a new demographic of producers adding to our annual put through totals.
