Tracy Norcross joins
Renze Seeds as a
district sales manager serving dealers and customers in a new
northwest Missouri territory. He brings ten years of experience
in the seed industry to the newly created district along with
enthusiasm for the Renze brand.
“I am excited to introduce Renze Seeds to northwest Missouri,”
Norcross stated. “This is a company maintaining its family-owned
business model, focused on the needs of their customers. At the
same time, their affiliation with Dow AgroSciences gives them
access to nearly all the technologies available along with their
excellent sourcing of foundation genetics.”
Renze Seeds retains its ability to manage the business locally,
per Norcross. “I see Renze’s affiliation with Dow AgroScience as
a corporate backing, not corporate management,” he said. “Dow
lets seed companies do what they do best for the customer
without micromanaging.”
Dan Swalla, director of sales and marketing for Renze Seeds,
worked with Norcross previously. “Tracy’s agronomic skills and
customer focus are exactly what we and our customers expect. I
know he will be an excellent addition to the growing Renze
family,” Swalla remarked.
Norcross took the position with Renze Seeds because their
commitment to service and quality appealed to him. “Renze will
bend over backwards to provide service to make it happen for
their customers. We want to surpass their expectations,” he
explained.
Renze Seeds maintains the flexibility to produce hybrids and
varieties specifically for their customers’ geographical needs,
according to Norcross. “Renze Seeds is an Iowa-based company,
however, the product line reflects the needs of the customers in
Missouri, Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas as
well,” he commented. “We will produce the seed our customers
need to be successful.”
Norcross resides in Overland Park, Kansas. He has three
daughters – Abby, 15; Madeline, 12; and Olivia, 10. In his free
time, Norcross enjoys running, waterfowling, and aviation.
