Summary

As a 27 year veteran in the cooperative business I’ve done many tasks. Some of the tasks include loading and unloading grain trucks, dumping grain, loading train cars, loading and unloading fertilizer, doing fertilizer bin measurements for year end inventory and other year end inventory counting. I’ve been front counter and scale operator fill in at the Holmes, 69 mill and Clarion main and south locations in the past when needed. In the past I’ve was given the opportunity to go out and talk to and sell some products to our local producers and bring there concerns if they had any back to management to help open up communication and to help us grow in this industry. I’ve been involved with making daily routes for dry, liquid, nh3 and chicken litter when we were involved with the hauling and spreading. Pryor to working at the coop I worked 4 years for a local producer on his farm as a farm hand and growing up on a farm watching and learning as my father was a farm hand
