Custom Applicator/Sales
-
Nov 1998 - Jun 2003
As a custom applicator I operated a vast array of equipment that would apply dry fertilizer and liquid application of herbicides. I was constantly working for farmers while trying to meet their crop management needs to maintain and grow their business. I traveled to meet with farmers to discuss if their needs are being met or and if not what needed to do to improve and gain more business. We were continually prospecting for, and gaining new customers through excellent customer service. I was also involved in repair and maintenance of heavy equipment. Plant operations played a role in my daily work that included managing loads headed to fields and loading and coordinating delivery trucks.
