Meet the Originals

What makes us the unique? Hear it straight from the originals.

"My role is one foot in research and the other in the markets, making sure new ideas are effective for customers on farm, not just in the lab."

Mike Jerred, Advisor, Global Technology – Ruminants

"At the end of the day, our job is to provide peace of mind, knowing that feed will always be there when it’s needed, so farmers can focus on their cows instead of their deliveries."

Tanner Dawson, Customer Service and Logistics Supervisor

"I’ve managed dairies, built dairies, and now I work alongside producers every day. Our scale allows us to offer expertise beyond just nutrition. We help farms succeed in every part of their business"
