Jim Dodge of rural Callaway, Nebraska, has joined Renze Seeds and will serve as a district sales manager for western Nebraska. He comes to the company with 32 years of agronomy sales and management experience.
Dodge joins Renze following a long career with All Points Cooperative. “Jim will use the agronomic skills gained during his time at the coop to help producers with seed selection and placement,” remarked Dan Swalla, Renze Seeds sales and marketing manager. “We are confident he will be able to help the Renze Seeds brand grow in western Nebraska, establish a dealer network, and help producers achieve the best results possible.”
With an interest in focusing only on seed, Dodge plans to tap into what he sees as tremendous opportunity for Renze Seeds in western Nebraska. “There is great potential for the producer to substantially help their income by selecting the right hybrids on their farm,” he stated. “Renze Seeds functions like a family-owned business and with their alliance with Dow AgroSciences, they have access to the latest and best technologies.”
At All Points Cooperative, Dodge began his career as a professional applicator and became agronomy location manager in Callaway. His responsibilities included scheduling custom application, inventory management, personnel management, and seed sales along with customer service.
Dodge and his wife, Karen, are the parents of six children. In addition to their residence near North Platte, they also have a home between Callaway and Arnold, Nebraska. When he’s not working, Dodge enjoys attending his children’s activities, hunting, old cars, and remodeling houses.
