Farmer’s Cooperative is headquartered in Ames, Iowa and serves farmer members from over 60 locations throughout Iowa.

Livingston grew up on a farm near Winterset, Iowa and received a degree in Agriculture Studies from Iowa State University. He previously worked as a district sales manager at Renze Hybrids, field sales agronomist at Farmers Cooperative Co., and an agronomy specialist at VanWall Equipment.

“Hoegemeyer’s strong core values drive the company and they are committed to doing what is right for the customers,” Livingston said. “I am delighted to be working with Hoegemeyer as they partner with Farmers Cooperative and grow together in central Iowa.”

Gutzmann was recently hired as a District Sales Manager and is responsible for the recruitment of new accounts along with managing current accounts in northeast Nebraska.
Born and raised at Emerson, Neb., Gutzmann received a degree in Applied Science from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He has been active in the seed industry as a student at UNL and through internships with various companies.

“I chose Hoegemeyer because of their solid product line and family ties to the immediate area,” Gutzmann said. “I look forward to building relationships where I can provide value to producers and their farming enterprises.”

“We’re delighted to have Lance and Nate join our staff,” said Stephan Becerra, Hoegemeyer general manager. “They both have a wealth of seed industry knowledge and experience and will play key roles in helping to educate and inform our customers about the many ways Hoegemeyer products can increase profitability.”
