Two Wisconsin seed leaders with more than 50 years combined experience have joined AgVenture Spangler Seed, Jeffersonville Wisconsin. Tom Abraham begins duties as Sales Manager and will lead the company’s sales team for the state of Wisconsin. Also joining AgVenture Spangler is Forage Specialist Derry Abraham. Derry has 15 years seed business experience and was most recently alfalfa product manager for the leading alfalfa breeding company in Wisconsin.

AgVenture Spangler President, John Spangler said, “These individuals bring a professional infusion of experience to our team in two specific areas crucial to our growers’ success – sales and forages. We look for Tom to lead our sales team in some exciting new efforts of taking customer service to yet another level of access and proficient support. We look to Derry to support our growers’ forage production efforts which are so important to Wisconsin’s economy.”

Tom Abraham has been active in the seed business since 1967. Most recently he was a Regional manager for a leading seed company and was responsible for Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas. He said, “I took a good look at AgVenture. I liked the products and respect the genetic and technology access which goes far beyond what other companies offer. AgVenture is going in the right direction and I wanted to be part of it.”

Derry Abraham said, “The AgVenture organization is amazing. The strength and synergies of this entire network of independent regional seed companies across the country are impressive. The focus on what’s best for the customer has been set aside by many companies. With AgVenture, we are in charge of that relationship. I look forward to reaching out to livestock producers and helping them with their seed choices and profitable forage crops production.”

AgVenture Vice President Sales and Marketing Jim Groepper said, “Seed that consistently performs is critical to growers’ success in our current market. Our ability to attract and keep professionals of this stature to our organization is immeasurably valuable to our customers, our company and this industry. Having the expertise and experience added to the already solid AgVenture Spangler team will make a significant and positive difference for Wisconsin growers.”
