“We are pleased to announce the addition of David Kinnison to the Fontanelle Hybrids sales team, as District Sales Manager for a territory in Western Nebraska,” Steve Pike, sales manager said. “David’s position is an expansion of the Western Regional Sales Team.”

“We pride ourselves in exceeding customers expectations for service,” Nick Lammers, western regional sales manager said. “To live up to that commitment, it was time to concentrate our existing DSM territories and add a new territory. That way our sales team can give excellent customer service to both existing and new customers. David’s experience really fit in well with this plan.”

Kinnison joins Fontanelle after being a full time farmer since 1984. “It was Fontanelle’s way of doing business that attracted me to Fontanelle,” Kinnison said. “I’ve dealt with at least six seed companies as a farmer and no one gave me the customer support and service that I received from Fontanelle. That made me want to be a part of the team.

“My perspective of farming comes from my first hand experience as a grower,” Kinnison said. “I’m already getting good response from growers as we talk about cultural practices because I’ve been there. It’s just a grower talking to a grower and they know that I understand their problems, because believe me, I’ve faced them.”

Kinnison and his family will be located in Chappell, NE once the geographic territory has been finalized. “We’re hoping to have everything in place by the end of this year,” Lammers said. “We are in the process of making sure our customers are comfortable with our plans for the newly enhanced sales team.”
