Of all the titles our team has held, agent remains the most important.
Scott Silveus, Lucas Whalen, and Tom Legner still manage clients in addition to their roles within the company. Throughout the year, our team frequently visits farms to connect with clients and support our agents. This constant hands-on approach helps refine our methodology, develop new products, improve software, and, in short, better serve the American farmer.
