Stine® Recognizes the 2024 Directors Council

February 2024 

Stine® Seed Company prides itself on providing value to farmers. This value encompasses everything from our high-yielding, elite genetics to our unique grower programs and dedicated employees and salesforce. Ultimately, we recognize that our talented and knowledgeable Stine team members help farmers reach their profitability goals by helping them maximize yield with the industry’s best corn and soybean genetics.

“We’re privileged to work with the very best in the industry,” says Myron Stine, company president. “No other company has a more dedicated and skilled employee base or sales team. Everyone is committed to helping farmers achieve their profitability goals.”

To demonstrate our appreciation for our dedicated sales team each year, Stine leadership selects the top-performing independent sales representatives (ISRs) to participate in the Stine Directors Council. These individuals exhibit an incredible commitment to the Stine brand, our grower customers and to the growth of our sales program.

As part of the Directors Council, selected ISRs attend a three-day destination meeting, where they hear important company updates from Stine leadership. The Directors Council members then provide the leadership team with valuable insights from the regions they represent, including how products and programs preform for their grower customers and the resources they need to place the right products on the right fields. Their feedback helps determine what programs to keep, what processes to change and how Stine can improve the value we bring to farmers.

This year’s Directors Council was held Feb. 20–22 in Orlando, Florida. The theme of this year’s meeting focused on delivering value. Specific topics discussed included customer programs, new and existing products, short-stature corn, customer service and marketing the Stine story.

Congratulations to the 2024 Stine Directors Council members invited to attend. We thank them for their commitment to our brand and carrying the STINE HAS YIELD promise directly to our grower customers.
