As a Golden Harvest® seed agronomist with over 19 years of experience, Brian Banks has worked in many regions and advised farmers in many areas. Today, his focus is mainly on seeds, soil and crop nutrition, but his clients know they can count on him for help with most anything farm-business related. “They know I specialize in seeds but that’s just one part of their operation,” says Brian. “I help them look at the big picture and understand that maximizing their return involves more than just picking a certain hybrid.”
In order to give his farmers the best and most up-to-date advice, Brian does extra legwork to make sure he’s as educated and knowledgeable as he can be. “I spent most of all last winter going around to all of our seed advisors and also talking to some farmers so I could showcase our E-Luminate® digital platform,” he said. “Demonstrating what E-Luminate can do stimulated conversation that we might not have otherwise been able to have. It’s a great tool that has opened up a lot of new information so we can have more probing conversations about a farmer’s operation, which in the long run, helps with their success.”
While Brian is appreciative of his extensive experience in agronomy, he’s most proud of his ability to work with farmers to improve their overall business. “It’s a bit different than it was 20 years ago,” says Brian. “Farmers now are looking for a trusted advisor to help them run their business. I want to be that guy for them.” Find out what Golden Harvest Agronomist Brian Banks and the rest of the Golden Harvest Seed Team can do for you: call 1-800-652-7333 or visit goldenharvestseeds.com today.
