Strong and steady growth has
prompted AgVenture WSC to
expand their sales force. Aaron Mays of Mount Vernon and Shawn
Beitz of Harrisburg will both join the company covering a
significant territory across most of nine Southern Illinois
counties.
AgVenture WSC Seed Sales Manager Mark Beer said, “We’ve had
tremendous reception from area farmers
since joining AgVenture in spring 2007. Interest in our products
has grown as farmers have seen these AgVenture products perform.
They really seem to value the product access and professional
support they get
when they buy AgVenture® brand seed.” For that reason, Beer
said, “It was time to build our sales team. And
we’re pleased to announce the hiring to two very talented
professionals.”
With facilities located at Mount Vernon, IL, Corn Yield
Specialist Aaron Mays will provide AgVenture products
and services to growers across a five county area. The Jefferson
County native and ag professional has
worked in agriculture and dealer distribution networks over the
past seventeen years. Most recently, Mays
was a regional territory manager over a 5 state area for
Tru-Test.
Mays said he chose to join AgVenture because of the strong
connection between its products and services. “I
believe in working with customers. AgVenture doesn’t just sell
seed. They offer growers high quality, locally
adapted products along with dedicated service: knowledge,
solutions, and information that truly bring
additional value to that seed product.
Mays is a graduate of Kaskaskia Junior College and Southern
Illinois University. He and his wife Keri have
two young children; Hunter, age 7 and Hailey age 5.
Based in Harrisburg, Shawn Beitz will serve as a Corn Yield
Specialist across four counties. Beitz was a
soybean seed production specialist prior to joining AgVenture.
He also worked in livestock feed sales. Beitz is
a graduate of Illinois State University in Agribusiness.
A native of Strasburg, IL, Beitz said, “My family has been using
AgVenture seed products for over a decade.
Product performance is really consistent and impressive with
AgVenture. It has worked for us very well. The
Maximum Profit System gives our customers the opportunity to
dramatically increase yield on every acre
while driving down the cost of production per acre. That means
more profitability for local growers. I’m glad to
share my experience with the products and help area farmers find
the right products for their farms.”
