“ Without starting out at Mid-County , I probably would have had a hard time getting where I am now ,” he said .
In May 2016 , Ancel completed his degree in agricultural industries and marketing from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities .
“ The focus of my major is in crops and soils , so on top of business , my major focuses on agronomy , soil science , and applied plant science , along with world issues and solutions pertaining to agriculture ,” Ancel noted on his LinkedIn page .
After graduation , Ancel was hired for a two-year training program at WinField United . He initially served under a regional agronomist in southern Minnesota , where his responsibilities included applying pesticide treatments , soil / tissue sampling and analysis , crop research , and advising customers .
In January , WinField relocated Ancel to New Hampton , IA , where he works as an agronomy associate . He ’ s looking forward to helping farmers with their seed and chemical purchases , and making sure the growing season runs smoothly .
When he ’ s not at work , Ancel can be found hunting ( in the fall ), cooking , and reading . He also considers himself a “ music geek ,” although he doesn ’ t play an instrument . •
