Derek grew up in a farming community where he developed a passion for agriculture that led him to a degree in agronomy and a career in retail ag. During 12 growing seasons in retail ag, Derek was fortunate to work alongside growers and assist them in increasing production and ROI through input optimization and enhancing precision capabilities on the farm. As an agronomist for Advanced Agrilytics, Derek is looking forward to continuing to improve grower operations in his area.
