Brad Hipsag may be new to his role in agronomy sales at Federated’s Ogilvie location, but there’s nothing new about the kind of service he provides to Federated growers. Along with his fellow agronomists, Hipsag knows that good service is Federated’s hallmark.

Growers who call upon Hipsag can be assured he cares about their farms, their needs. “I put their needs first,” he said.

Hipsag grew up on a farm near Pease, and today focuses his efforts on the needs of growers in the areas surrounding Milaca, Foreston, Oak Park, Foley, and Gilman. He brings everything Federated has to offer to north central Minnesota growers: “Federated is an up-to-date company . . . it’s in tune with what’s going on [in agriculture],” he said.

Hipsag described how Federated has “knowledgeable people, and better equipment” that support both his own and the co-op’s overall commitment to meeting grower needs.

With a few years of retail agronomy work under his belt prior to joining Federated in late September, this Southwest Minnesota State University grad puts his agronomy training to work every day. His educational emphasis on crop management puts him on the cutting edge for helping growers plan effectively for better yields.

Hipsag noted that Federated has a very good “structure,” including multiple levels of leadership within the agronomy division. Thus, if the answer to a grower’s crop management question can’t be found at one level, there’s another level to go to. This structure gives Hipsag – and all Federated Agronomists – “more resources to turn to,” he said, adding that “the same goes for the customer.”

In true Minnesota fashion, Hipsag likes to fish, hunt, and watch Vikings football games (though maybe not so much recently) when agronomy business isn’t pressing. He’ll gladly take 2019 crop management questions today. Contact Brad or your local Federated Agronomist.
