Ashley Babbitt

Operations Manager

Ashley Babbitt is from Eureka, IL, where she grew up around seed sales and agriculture. She went to high school at Eureka High, where she was very involved in FFA and band. After high school, Ashley obtained an associate’s degree in agriculture from Illinois Central College and a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Communication and Leadership from Illinois State University. When she wasn’t at school, you could find Ashley either working or at her grandparents’ horse farm.

Early on, Ashley knew she wanted to have a career in Agriculture from riding with her dad while he sold seed. Agriculture has always been her passion, and she has always pictured herself working in the field. After graduating from ISU, Ashley started out in Ag Retail and worked her way up to being a manager of a major hub location. Ashley has worked in the operations side of Ag retail for 13 years, starting by scouting fields and progressing to mixing chemicals and fertilizer, loading anhydrous, and warehouse management. While managing the hub location, Ashley learned how to effectively schedule multiple machines and deliveries to other facilities or to growers, and how to maintain/order inventory. Ashley has always been a hands-on type of person and is willing to learn what it takes to be successful.

Ashley is very excited and eager to learn more within the seed and fungicide industry, but also to bring her knowledge and skills to help grow the efficiency and customer service for all the customers we work with. She is very excited to be working with the Integrated Team and see where this opportunity will lead.
