Clarion, IA (December 9, 2024) - Cornelius Seed announced Brad Grandgeorge as their newest District Sales Manager. Grandgeorge brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and passion for agriculture that aligns perfectly with Cornelius Seed’s mission of maximizing profits per acre for farmers.
Grandgeorge's roots run deep in production agriculture. Growing up on a corn, soybean, and cow-calf farm, he developed a lifelong passion for farming, which he continues to pursue today. He graduated from Iowa State University in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Studies and a minor in Agronomy. With over a decade of experience as a District Sales Manager in the seed industry, Brad is well-equipped to bring value to farmers in his new role.
Grandgeorge and his wife, Paige, have been married for eight years. Paige is an elementary school teacher, and together they are raising two children: Deanna (5), a kindergartener, and Logan (2), who shares his dad’s enthusiasm for the farm. The Grandgeorge family also shares a love for community involvement. Brad serves as a third-generation Wright County Fair board member, fostering his family's love for showing cattle and attending the fair.
Outside of work, Grandgeorge and Paige are dedicated Iowa State Wrestling fans as proud season ticket holders. Grandgeorge is also an active member of the Cyclone Regional Training Center committee in Humboldt, which supports postgraduate wrestling initiatives.
When asked about what attracted him to Cornelius Seed, Grandgeorge highlighted the company’s diverse portfolio of seed traits and genetics, an impressive soybean lineup, and its family-owned roots. He also appreciates Cornelius Seed’s access to innovative products like Pivot Bio and Streamline Ag.
Grandgeorge is eager to expand the Cornelius Seed brand in a new geography, working closely with the Cornelius family to help farmers become more profitable.
“Having the support of a family-owned company that genuinely cares about farmer success is something I am excited to be a part of,” said Grandgeorge.
