Here’s what folks are saying about FuSE ...

 

Educational Units

“The Educational Unit was a good experience to not only interact and meet other young people in this industry but to also motivate me to think about various issues relating to the seed industry.” – Ben Orebaugh, Beck’s Superior Hybrids

“I highly recommend the program for young people looking to move up in their organizations”
Scott Brolsma, AgReliant Genetics 

“This session was a great opportunity to learn about a completely different business model (and a company) that thinks outside the box.”
Jim Wolf, iCorn

“The case study was very relevant to our industry.  Very thought provoking and stimulated my creaking thinking related to seed strategy.”
Dan Mondt, Monsanto

“Great opportunity to meet, interact, and share ideas with other industry professionals.”
Ryan Parkin, Beck’s Superior Hybrids

“It was great to be in the same room with so many exceptional people.  I wish there had been this type of program when I was starting out in the industry.”
Lou Schweigert, Gro Alliance

“FuSE is a great opportunity to hone your management capacity through case studies.  FuSE allows for opportunities to discuss industry issues and challenges in an open environment.”
Wade Wiley, JGL, Inc.

"I had the opportunity recently to attend the ASTA FuSE Educational Unit in California hosted by Incotec and Enza Zaden. Oliver Manufacturing has always been a financial supporter of the FuSE organization, and I have to say that after attending this last Ed Unit, we are excited to continue our support. I found the content of the presentations and timeliness of the program as a whole to be very valuable. Not to mention that there are great networking opportunities for those new to the industry. I've attended maybe a half dozen or so of these programs and I always come away knowing it was time well spent. Please pass many Thanks on to the host companies and the FuSE committee for their efforts."
Jon Moreland, Oliver Manufacturing Co. Inc.

 

 

Round Table Discussion Groups

“The call was excellent and the topic was very relevant.  Hearing other perspectives on challenges our company faces was refreshing.” – Tim Bratland, Legend Seeds

“The insights of the different participants brought to light several facts which hadn’t occurred to me before.”
Don Wertman, Seedway

“I found the Discussion Group more beneficial than I originally anticipated. The discussion helps to formulate ideas that you think about but don’t always articulate. Stating them and hearing others state them helps to bring about a better sense of what is happening and what the future will look like.”
Scott Beck, Becks Superior Hybrids
