As the AdFarm North Dakota corn crop grows, this year’s marketing committee is keeping a keen eye on other factors, including weather and corn markets.

Designed as an educational experience, the AdFarm North Dakota farm offers a few individuals more intense learning (read: pressure) as members of the marketing committee. This years’ group is especially diverse in terms of location, background and professional responsibilities. Yet they have one thing in common: maximizing return on their fellow shareholders’ investment.

This year’s marketing committee members:

Angie Skochdopole, Media Director, Richmond, Virginia

Ron Wall, Writer, Calgary, Alberta

Marisa Meyer, Senior Account Executive, Kansas City, Missouri

Shaun Crockett, Art Director, Kansas City, Missouri

Latana Peasland, Desktop Support/Network Administrator, Fargo, North Dakota

Elizabeth Hansen, Writer, Lakeville, Minnesota

The marketing committee conducts several meetings each year, coordinated by Erin Jarolimek, Account Manager, Fargo, North Dakota. Farm Partner Fred Lukens participates in the meetings and guides discussion. They balance risks and market performance to decide when to sell the crop—at what threshold.
