Key Cooperative Welcomes New Seed Specialist


COOPERATIVES ARE a mere reflection of the farmers we serve, which is why it’s so important to have experts available to walk alongside growers—evaluating their operations to make the best recommendations, resulting in the best return on investment. This month, we’re proud to introduce the newest expert on our Key Agronomy team: Seed Specialist Adam Stamp.

Originally from Belle Plaine, Adam attended Kirkwood Community College and earned a degree in business management. Though he was not raised on a farm, he knew he enjoyed being outside and the seasonal challenges of agriculture.

Following college, Adam gained great experience directly in the cornfields, setting up seed corn plots for a local manufacturer. “I’m pleased that, as a cooperative, Key is focused on agronomy,” said Adam. “It’s been a very positive atmosphere since I started in February.”

To be prepared for planting season, Adam hit the ground running. He will be meeting with growers at every Key location, giving him an opportunity to build relationships not only with the Key Agronomy team but the other Key divisions as well.

“I look forward to being another resource for our agronomists and the growers,” said Adam. “Some of the best resources are our farmers—someone always does something different!”

Adam is a proud father of three teenagers and enjoys all outdoor hobbies such as hunting, fishing and golfing. Please help us welcome Adam to the Key family!
