Concept AgriTek Expands with New District Sales Manager

Concept AgriTek is expanding their sales team with Ethan Jones, who will serve as district sales manager for customers and dealers in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and the northwest corner of Iowa.

Jones has a degree in precision technology from Lake Area Technical College in Watertown, S.D., and has served in sales and agronomy roles for agriculture and seed companies throughout the region. 

“I’m working to learn Concept AgriTek’s extensive product portfolio and be able to apply the Concept AgriTek “A,B,C’s,” Jones says. “I thought that I knew agronomy, but I have realized in these past few weeks that I have a lot to learn. Concept AgriTek has opened my eyes to assessing agronomy, biology, and chemistry; how important it is to start off knowing what a plant or the soil actually needs and using all of that information to help the grower. It isn’t just selling a product.”

After nearly a decade of experience, Jones shares he is excited for the challenge ahead - as is the rest of the Concept AgriTek team.

“We’re as excited as Ethan is to have him on the team,” says Daniel Hensley, Concept AgriTek president. “We grew significantly in 2023 and we have plans to continue that growth in 2024. But we aren’t growing faster than we can manage. Qualifications add up to more than experience and background, our team is cohesive and wants to learn, that’s what it takes to serve the growers we work with. We hire people who truly want to be a part of something that’s a different approach to agronomic sales. Ethan has that drive and is already a valuable member of our team.”
