Challenges associated with the changing nature of agriculture and the workplace environment are as real for MKC as they are for any other business.  These changes require ongoing development and educational opportunities to insure MKC has the skilled and knowledgeable workforce needed to help our customers succeed.

“Our employees are our most important asset,” states Brett Myers, Director of Human Resources and Development for MKC.  “We want to give them every opportunity we can to help them excel.”

According to Myers, MKC offers more than 40 development programs throughout the year.

 The most recent program, a workshop on soil sampling, plant tissue analysis and soil and crop nutrients was attended by more than 20 employees including Matt Porter, Location Manager. 

Porter commented that the program was a great source for him to further his knowledge about a variety of agronomic topics that will help him succeed in his job.

“I feel that educational classes like this help MKC employees to be more successful in their job,” stated Porter. “It’s important that we stay on top of the latest technologies, products and changes going on in the industry so that we are better equipped to help our customers succeed.”
