AgVenture Spangler Seed has announced hiring seed professional Duane Wiegel of Darlington, Wisconsin as AgVenture Yield Specialist in South Central Wisconsin. Wiegel brings more than thirty years of seed business experience to the AgVenture Spangler team.
AgVenture Spangler Vice President, Jeff Spangler said, “Duane has a great knowledge of Wisconsin agronomics and of seed hybrids and varieties. His experience and practical understanding of growing crops in this area will be a strong advantage for our AgVenture Spangler area farmers.”

Wiegel said, “AgVenture Spangler doesn’t just sell seed and leave. I’m very impressed with their commitment to implementing cropping plans, selecting products adapted to soil types and environmental conditions and their dedication to helping growers achieve improved production goals throughout the year.” He added, “AgVenture’s Maximum Profit System is focused on helping growers achieve new highs in yield, lower their cost per bushel and advance overall profitability on every acre. It’s a system that works and one I am anxious to put to work for South Central Wisconsin growers.”

Born and raised on a family farm, the University of Wisconsin graduate has worked across the Midwest for some of the industry’s leading seed programs. Most recently, he served as a private consultant working with nutrient management and soil testing. Wiegel said, “Seed is what I know and what I love. I look forward to building relationships with our area growers.”

Wiegel and his wife, Wanda, live in Darlington, Wisconsin. They have two daughters and one grandchild.
