Jared Terpstra
I spent my younger years on a Beef/Swine Farm near Oskaloosa, IA. I started with Farmers Coop Society as a Dairy Nutritionist/Salesperson soon after I graduated Dordt in 2002. Later, I became a Beef Nutritionist/Salesperson and lead the ruminant team for FCS. I also managed our 10,000 head custom feedlot for a couple of years. Once the feedlot sold; I became the Feed Sales Manager for FCS for the swine, beef, and dairy teams. And in May 2017, I became the Feed Division Manager. My favorite part of working for Farmers Coop Society is working with our customers and prospects to find new and improved ways to serve them. Helping our patrons become more sustainable and creating a win/win for our customers and FCS is always a goal.
