Agriculture is a part of life growing up in Northwest Iowa. My earliest memories include following my Grandpa De Vries around his small dairy farm in Central Iowa. When not on the farm I remember acting as my Dad's shadow for all outside projects. I have only worked outside, first at a local landscape company, then as a farm hand and most recently over four years at my alma mater's Maintenance Department. I served as a Student Supervisor during my education at Dordt University and continually enhanced the campus's landscape during the summer months and kept the community's sidewalks and parking lots snow free during the winter. Now, I fill my days at Alpha Ag Research. As a group we service custom field trials in Northwest Iowa, providing our clients with high quality, trustworthy data. We value honesty, integrity, and respect toward individuals in all we do. Work is a gift from God and we strive to utilize our God given talents in agriculture to the glory of His son, our Savior, Jesus Christ.
