A western Iowa seed company has
made a significant commitment toward growth, and building on its
momentum from the past year,
AgVenture Hobart Brothers, based at Lake City, is delivering
on that promise. AgVenture H-B Sales and Marketing Manager, Mike
Bieret said, “By bringing western Iowa farmers greater access to
better seed genetics and technologies than they’ve seen in our
AgVenture® brand products, demand for our products has grown.
Now, so has our team. We’re pleased to have hired Robert Wright
from Clarinda, Denny Kasperbauer of Irwin and Grant Aschinger of
Wall Lake to serve as District Sales Managers each in their own
area.”
Robert Wright, who brings 20-plus years ag sales experience to
the team most recently was with Apex Genetics. Wright said,
“AgVenture H-B has the intimacy of a small company along with
the benefits of this nationwide network of AgVenture independent
companies! The AgVenture products are top notch in the industry.
With AgVenture, we’re not stuck with one resource for genetics
and technology as we have access to all the major seed genetic
and trait providers. I’m anxious to share that with my customers
in southwest Iowa.” Wright and his wife, Robin have been married
for 26 years and have two daughters. They live in Clarinda.
Denny Kasperbauer will be serving a seven county territory
centered at Irwin. Kasperbauer, also most recently from Apex
Genetics has 16 years seed sales experience and 12 years in the
coop fertilizer business backing him up. Denny and his wife have
two children. Kasperbauer said, “It is great be able to bring
these AgVenture products to western Iowa farmers. It is a luxury
to have this level of access and an invaluable resource for
growers focused on maximizing their profitability on every
acre.”
Grant Aschinger, lives at Wall Lake and will be serving as DSM
in Sac, Ida and Woodbury counties. Aschinger holds a B.S. in
Business Administration from Morningside College in Sioux City.
“This is just a great company to work for. The local control of
our independent business is great. We have the decision-making
power to help our customers choose what works best for them, not
some corporate mandate telling us what to sell. That is
distinctly different.” Grant and his wife have one daughter.
AgVenture H-B president, Jason Phillips said, “These are three
individuals who know and understand the seed industry. We’re
excited about our company’s growth. We have such great access to
outstanding seed products that are exceptionally adapted to this
area that it’s hard to hold back the enthusiasm we have for our
customers’ profitability potential. In addition, it’s just great
to have the opportunity to choose great people, build a solid
team and have fun doing what we like best.”
