AGRI-TREND Agrology is welcoming Glyn Evans as a new AGRI-TREND Agri-Coach™!

Glyn grew up on a mixed cattle and grain farm in Doe River where he still reside with his wife Stephanie and four daughters Kaitlyn, Sierra, Julia, and Lindsay. The farm now is mostly cattle, calving 250 cows in partnership with his father. He graduated from South Peace Senior Secondary in 1992 at which time he moved to Grande Prairie, and soon after, Edmonton. Glyn spent three years in Edmonton during which time he worked running equipment in the logging industry and spent two seasons playing football for the Edmonton Huskies in the Canadian Junior Football League.

Glyn married Stephanie in 1995 and they moved to Fairview where his wife taught elementary school, and he worked drilling rigs until he decided to enroll in the Fairview College Ag Diploma Program. In 1999 Glyn graduated with a 4.99 out of 5.0 grade point average and top honors. They moved immediately to Dawson Creek where he spent the next 4 years working for Agricore in sales first, and then managing the crop inputs business. During this time, Glyn received his Certified Crop Advisor accreditation from the American Society of Agronomy.

In September of 2003, Glyn began working for Rolla Agricultural Services where he has stayed to the present time. At Rolla Ag, he has continued to grow his knowledge of agronomy and gained a new perspective on the Ag inputs business. Glyn has learned the independent business model as opposed to the line company alternative.

The thing he has enjoyed the most about working in the agriculture industry has been meeting and growing the relationships he has with local producers. Glyn looks forward to continuing on with these relationships in the future as an independent Agri-Coach supported by Agri-Trend Agrology.
