We are excited to announce Greg Cox will be joining the ATP team as a new Regional Account Manager focusing on the Southern Minnesota / Northern Iowa region. As the ATP business continues to grow, this new additional territory will help retails and growers employ plant nutrition, biostimulants and analytical tools to drive productivity of corn and soybean crops.
“Corn and Soybeans are at the heart of agriculture in Iowa and Minnesota. Today the average yield of these crops is less than 25% of their genetic potential. By proactively integrating nutrition and biostimulants at the key growth stages we can close this yield gap. I look forward to working with growers and retailers to maximize productivity by driving nutrient uptake and nutrient use efficiency.”
For over 23 years, Greg has held diverse agricultural roles ranging from seed, chemical, and fertilizer sales, working his way up to owner/operator of an independent retail company. Most recently, Greg comes to ATP from the fertilizer sector where he worked as a Territory Sales Manager for Simplot growing their specialty fertilizer, nutrient use efficiency products and micronutrient programs.
Growing up on a dairy and crop farm in East Central Iowa exposed Greg to the daily operation of crop production from start to finish. Greg obtained his Ag and Food Technology/Agronomy degree at Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo, IA. Greg’s agricultural education, years of professional work experience and network will make him a great addition to the team.
Greg resides in Pleasantville, IA with his wife, Brandie and their three daughters. In Greg’s spare time you can find him at a softball field cheering on his girls.
Please join us as we welcome Greg to the ATP team.
