Hello! My name is Amanda and I am one of the newest additions to Agfinity being hired on as a “Plower”. What might a Plower be, you ask? I am that someone who checks in on you to see if you have any grain to market and give you the most accurate pricing reflecting what the current market is doing at the time.
I do have a bit of a farming background myself, although I was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. I did spend a lot of time on my grandparent’s farm in St. Michael, Alberta in my childhood years before they retired and sold the farm. I am sure you can relate to all the hard work that goes into farming. I enjoyed assisting my grandparents with their day to day farming duties and everything the farm life had to offer. Before getting hired on to Agfinity I was in the construction field amongst many other endeavors such as the oil and gas industry, sales, and dispatching/logistics. I enjoy working with such a vibrant team of talented people and feel I fit in well here.
When I’m not helping grain find a new home, I enjoy spending time with my animals on my acreage just outside of Stony Plain, Alberta. I also enjoy doing DIY projects, gardening, travelling, repurposing old furniture, and creating delicious food from new recipes that I come across online.
We are experiencing new territory with the COVID situation, but we do stand by core values here at Agfinity and truly believe a handshake still matters even though we aren’t able to do that right now. Forming those solid relationships with you is very important to us indeed. Getting to speak with farmers day to day and learning about the industry is the biggest highlight of my job. Having heart and loyalty is what makes me good at what I do. I feel like it is going to be an amazing Harvest and I’m looking forward to helping you find the best target pricing to market your grain. I can be reached at 1-888-969-5552 (ext-111) or my direct line @ 587-323-9167.
Because Farming is Forever
