Ken Hove is moving into his 40th year as a Pioneer seed representative. Ken’s former associate, Matt Larson, is taking over the agency at Fosston, Minnesota. In a role reversal, Ken will be the sales associate this upcoming year. “I’ve had 17 different DSMs,” Hove said with a smile. “What that tells you is that apparently I’m not trainable.” Reflecting on four decades in the seed business, Hove said the introduction of Roundup was the biggest change for the industry. “It’s been fun.” During the Pioneer sales launch last month, two other individuals were recognized for 40 years of selling Pioneer Seed; Dennis McCoy of Larimore, North Dakota and Wayne Nelson of Buxton, North Dakota.
