Hello from Ag1Source, the premier recruiter in Agriculture and Food Processing. Consolidation, technology improvements, GMO's, vertical integration, governmental regulations, GPS, derivative backed loans and bio-fuels are just some of the recent innovations that have changed agriculture. While all of these changes have had big impacts on agriculture, the common denominator is still people. During my time in agriculture the demand for people has ratcheted up to new heights. As farmers get bigger and bigger, there are fewer children leaving the farm to work in Agri-Business. Couple this with a baby boomer generation starting to retire now and you have a demand for people like never before.

During my career, I've experienced the impact people can have on an organization firsthand. During time with a major chemical and seed company we launched new technologies that will impact agriculture for decades to come. However, it still boiled down to individual talent and passion to invent, implement, market and sell that technology.

While working for ABG Inc. the top ag focused consulting firm, I was able to help companies develop the internal talent they already had and set them on a well planned course for success. However, they still have to have the top talent in the industry to make the plan work.

Here at Ag1Source, we pride ourselves on finding candidates and clients that when placed together can have a new key employee make a big difference in the business and share in the rewards of that success. We utilize our experience in the industry to understand our clients needs and to find employees that can perform to help the company hit their goals.

It all boils down to people and putting them in places to succeed. If you need help finding the right place to be as an employee, or are an employer looking to fill an important position, please give us a call. I currently work in the Agronomy Retail, Seed, Ag Banking, Governmental Compliance and Milling/Baking industries. The technology and new products will keep coming, but the common denominator of good people will continue, let us help you find the right place to be or the right employee to make your business grow.
