 Pioneer
Hi-Bred, a DuPont business, recently
named Bill Ramsey livestock information manager. Ramsey will
serve 15 states in the western U.S. Ramsey will focus on
customers' needs in the livestock and forage industry and manage
the communications flow between Pioneer sales professionals and
western U.S. producers.
Ramsey has an extensive background in agribusiness management
and livestock nutrition. Ramsey began his career more than two
decades ago in a commercial feedlot. He later worked at Pioneer
as a livestock production specialist, providing technical and
sales support for the Pioneer sales force. After several years
with Pioneer, he worked at Farm Credit and then later purchased
and operated a business coaching franchise.
"I look forward to offering my diverse experience and expertise
to livestock producers," says Ramsey. "This is an optimum
opportunity to work with producers face-to-face and build
long-term relationships. I enjoy helping others and being a
problem solver."
Ramsey will help in the effort to implement the Pioneer Silage
ZoneSM program, which provides information to growers on
planting crops through feeding livestock.
"Silage Zone is an exciting program," says Ramsey. "It brings
value to all areas or segments from getting a crop planted to
feeding that crop to livestock. With my nutritional background,
I can bring additional value to this program."
Ramsey was raised on a diversified livestock and farming
operation in central Iowa. He received his bachelor's degree
from Iowa State University and his master's from the University
of Nebraska at Kearney.
