Montgomery CEO visited the Nutrien Ag Solutions Nokomis branch, hosted by manager Asa Thomas. Asa shared how Nutrien is one of largest agricultural input companies in the world, operating across countries like the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Argentina, and how the team navigates government regulations to stay compliant while using technology to make buying easier for their customers.

The team also heard about the financial side of running a seasonal business, from managing cash flow through the busy and slow months to keeping inventory lean to avoid holding costs. Asa explained how offering customers a discount to prepay helps keep cash strong without relying on loans, and why paying off financing early can save a business real money on interest.

A key takeaway was a lesson every leader needs to hear: as a business owner, accountability starts and ends with you. Thank you, Asa and the Nutrien Ag Solutions team, for opening your doors to us!
