01.18.10 - AgVenture Mid-South extends reach in Central Arkansas Delta
AgVenture Mid-South has today announced the hiring of seed professional Robert Turner as AgVenture Yield Specialist and District Sales Manager. AgVenture Mid-South General Manager, Terry Dulaney said, "We're very pleased to fortify our professional seed services team in the Central Arkansas Delta. Robert brings 25 years of experience and expertise in agriculture sales, management and customer support to our growers across that region. He'll be a great addition to our team and to our customers' operations.
Most recently, Turner managed a regional sales team and territory for Delta & Pine Land. "I'm both pleased and proud to accept this opportunity to work with AgVenture. Two distinctive factors have drawn me to the company and will inspire my efforts as I work with these growers. First, AgVenture continues to gain the respect of farmers because of their ability to access the right seed genetics and technologies best-suited to our Delta acres. Second, AgVenture believes in doing what it takes to support growers completely throughout the crop production cycle. The results are evident as our growers make gains in yields and in profitability."
Dulaney said, "Our Maximum Profit System is really making a difference for Mid-South farmers. As growers participate, they are improving, enhancing and re-tooling their crop production operations and techniques. These management tools, combined with AgVenture® brand seed products, have helped them improve productivity, lower cost per bushel and dramatically increase overall profitability. Robert will be a great asset in supporting Arkansas growers in making those gains on every acre across the operations."
Turner and his wife, Peggy, have three grown sons.
