Pinnacle Agriculture Holdings LLC announced on March 17 that it has opened a new retail location in Edson, Kan., that will offer fertilizer, seed, crop protection chemicals, and precision agriculture services to area growers of corn, soybeans, grain sorghum, and wheat.
The facility at 2704 County Road 64 will operate as part of Pinnacle’s Performance Agriculture™ brand. The start-up team includes Justin Foss, location manager; Stuart Schmidt, sales and operations manager; and Darrick Zerr, sales representative. Foss has worked in agriculture retail for 17 years, Schmidt brings 23 years of agriculture experience in a variety of sales roles, and Zerr has 20 years of experience in agriculture machinery sales.
“Our team is excited to expand the Performance Agriculture footprint into northwest Kansas,” said Foss. “We realize that strong agronomic recommendations and a high level of service are key factors in making our customers successful, and we look forward to helping area farmers be as profitable as possible.”
Pinnacle now serves growers in 27 states through its Sanders®, Performance Agriculture, Providence Agriculture™, AgOne Application Services™, OptiGro®, Innvictis™, Meridian™, and Altitude™ brands. The company has launched five new locations since December 2014.
“We are happy to have such an experienced management team to offer high-quality products and superior service,” said Keith Karnes, regional business director for Performance Agriculture. “We feel confident that the farmers of northwest Kansas will benefit from our offerings and that our team will add value to their business.”
