In 2008, Monsanto came calling with an opportunity to get back in the Seed Business. Jerry spent the next 15 years within the Monsanto Corporate structure as a District sales manager, rising to the top winning master sales along the way.

His professional career started in 2006 as a Local Field Advisor for Monsanto in West Tennessee, where he developed and maintained relationships with growers and retailers. In 2009, aspiring to advance his career and get closer to home, Danny accepted a position with Helena Agri-Enterprises as a Branch Manager in Northern Indiana. In this position he learned many facets of the agriculture business from A-Z. This experience introduced Danny to people management, retail sales, and built a strong foundation of both agronomic and product knowledge. Shortly after, Danny moved within the company to North-Central Illinois as a Branch Manager for 6 retail locations.

system. Eddie sees the potential for a tremendous fit with his customers desire for higher Return on
Investment and the High Yield Management system that Amplify provides. Thus, his career at Integrated
