NuTech Seed, LLC is pleased to announce the hire of Tim Elliott for the newly formed role of General Manager. This new position was developed by the company’s ownership group in response to tremendous customer growth, expanding products and additional new technologies.

NuTech has become widely recognized as the fastest growing family owned seed company in the United States with annual sales approaching $83,000,000 within the first seven years of its foundation. In 2008, NuTech expanded its offerings as enabled by a new strategic relationship with Pioneer Hi-Bred International, a DuPont company. This unique relationship granted NuTech “exclusive access” to the highest yielding Generation 2® (G2) Genetics developed by this enormous breeding program. As a result, NuTech is uniquely poised to offer growers the broadest possible access to the highest yielding and most genetically diverse pool of genetics available in the world today.

Mr. Elliott’s expertise in trait technology, agronomics and seed business management will help assure NuTech maintains its unified ability to serve customers and remain on the cutting edge of trait technology while delivering unparalleled access to the very best genetics for years to come. Tim comments that “NuTech’s history of success and tradition of commitment to God, family and business provides an ideal basis for his new role.”

Mr. Elliott started his agriculture industry career serving American Cyanamid Company in 1989 where his performance earned him several promotions in various management positions. In 1999 Mr. Elliott was hired by Corn States Hybrid Services. From 2001 to 2006 Mr. Elliott served as a member of the Monsanto’s Holden’s and Corn States Leadership Team as the Director of Trait Marketing and the Field Trait Marketing Lead, USA. He was also a member of the Monsanto Technology Development Leadership Team. Before joining NuTech, Mr. Elliott was serving as the Regional Business Manager for Kruger Seeds Inc.

NuTech is the third largest family owned seed company in the industry serving a network of dealers and growers in ten states across the Midwest with offices in Iowa and North Dakota.
