The Sample Bucket

Jim Holter - Stickney Co-op Elevator - Stickney SD

Managing a cooperative, riding a Harley, traveling with family, and finding work that keeps you satisfied for 17 years and beyond.

Pete and Donna Archer - Maizeing Acres Inc. - Campbellford, ON

Growing up on the farm (and failing to escape), raising a strong family, an accidental blind date that went pretty well, building a strong team, and baking an unreasonable quantity of pies.

Scott Hansen - White Commercial Corporation - Griswold, IA

Growing up in the grain business, being a girl dad (and fun grandpa in waiting), being selected for the Iowa softball umpire Hall of Fame, community service, loving the grain elevator business, and learning basis trading from a barefoot man and a juggler.

Roger Cochran - Obion Grain - Kenton, TN

Growing up in agriculture, working at one place your whole life, dumping pickup trucks at the elevator, marrying the first girl you ever dated, and providing quality service to everyone you deal with.

Evan Erlandson - Red River Grain and E2 Trucking - Altona, MB

A man of two nations (and the joy of paying taxes to both), being trilingual in English, building businesses, doing the hard stuff, the joy of driving long distances, playing shinny, and why the prairie is the most underrated vacation destination.
