GrowNextGen industry leader

Alex Johnson

Area Team Leader at Beck’s Superior Hybrids

Alex knows a lot about: agronomist, seeds

I help farmers raise higher yields and farm more profitably.

What is the benefit of collaboration between industry and education?

The benefit is through collaboration education can be more relevant to industry and a student’s future experiences in the real world.

What value/assistance can you and your company provide to teachers and classrooms as they connect with you?

I can show teachers what modern ag is by showing them in the field and talking with them about it.

Why should teachers connect with you through GrowNextGen?

To help bring balanced information to their students about where and how their food is grown.
