New Employee Announcement
Hi, my name is Austin Bechard, and I recently joined the AgMark team in January. Originally from Beloit, I am well acquainted with the outstanding culture and people here, and have deep roots within the community. I graduated from St. John’s Catholic High School in 2010, and from there, attended Kanas State University, graduating in 2014 with a B.S. in AgBusiness. After graduating from K-State, I spent over 10 years with Viterra (legacy Gavilon). I spent the first 5 years of my career in Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin, as a grain merchandiser, trading corn and soybeans on the Mississippi River into the Center Gulf export market. In 2019, I moved to Abilene, Kansas, as the Commercial Manager of Viterra’s joint venture with AgMark, Flint Hills Grain LLC.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of knowing firsthand the exceptional culture and success of AgMark as an industry leader. I look forward to joining the AgMark team and the opportunity of bringing over 10 years of knowledge and industry experience to the organization. My wife Kathryn (also a Beloit Native) and I have 4 children. Scarlett 9, Bosco 6, Noah 2, and Theo 3 months. We are so excited to once again be close to our friends and family, while raising our children in our hometown. The majority of my free time is centered around Faith and Family. I enjoy staying active in all things related to sports and fitness, working out at the Wellness Center, reading books with my wife, wrestling with my boys, playing games and sports with my daughter, and going on family walks around town.
I look forward to navigating the ever-changing dynamics and challenges of the grain markets today for the success of our owner members and continuing to form deep and lasting relationships within our industry. God Bless!
-We are excited to have Austin join the AgMark Team as a Grain Merchandiser!
