“I am amazed by each of you,” said Ryan Mueller, Dairyland Seed Product Portfolio and Agronomy Leader. “Your talents, experience, and dedication has led to the Agronomy Team being recognized by Dairyland Seed management and Corteva Agriscience as an integral piece of the Dairyland Seed brand.”
The Corteva Shine Flourish Award is given to those achieving exceptional results in implementing a long-term project or initiative that provided significant cost/productivity savings or business results tied to living Corteva values, accelerating market shaper practices and Execute to Win mindset.
RETIREMENT DATE SET FOR ROD KING
Rod King has officially announced that he will be retiring effective April 9, 2021, after a 35-year career in agriculture. Rod has been a significant member of our Agronomy Team covering parts of Indiana and Michigan and has spent his last 15 years as part of the Dairyland Seed/Brodbeck Seeds team.
Rod is passionate about agriculture and played an important role in the Agronomy Team. He was fiercely loyal to the customers/dealers that he represented and never stopped advocating on their behalf. Rod was responsible for the coordination of the weekly Agronomy Zoom Calls in the Indiana/Michigan area this past spring.
Rod’s energy and enthusiasm will be missed. Best wishes to Rod and his wife Sandra in his retirement!
