Fontanelle, Nebraska
August 4, 2008
“We are pleased to announce the
addition of Krista Schifferns as a District Sales Manager to the
Fontanelle sales team,” Steve Pike, Fontanelle president,
Fontanelle, Nebraska said. “We have been fortunate with our
growth in the eastern Colorado/western Nebraska area and decided
it was time to take one larger sales territory and divide into
two. Krista came to our attention due to her leadership skills
and background in that area.”
“I grew up on a dryland farm and ranch in central eastern
Colorado where my family still farms,” Schifferns said.
“Graduating from Colorado State University with a double degree
in agricultural business and animal science, I wanted to be able
to put my training to work. I was attracted to Fontanelle
because of the people. It seemed like a small family-oriented
Company with the benefits of a large corporation, including
access to leading genetics and research. My goal for my
territory will be to increase awareness of the Fontanelle brand
and continue to introduce more growers to Fontanelle products
and customer service.”
Schifferns will be helped in her transition to her new territory
by current District Sales Manager David Kinnison, Ovid, CO who
will continue his duties in the other portion of the divided
territory. Schifferns is located in Arriba and will cover the
Nebraska counties of Chase and Dundy and the Colorado counties
of: Adams, Arapahoe, El Paso, Elbert, Kit Carson, Lincoln,
Philips, Washington and Yuma.
Fontanelle Hybrids
markets corn, soybeans, grain sorghum, alfalfa and sunflowers in
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, Missouri and portions of
Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota and Texas as an independent
operating company within American Seeds Inc, a holding company
of Monsanto. |
