So time marches on. And eventually milestones are reached. No avoiding them. Today AgroLiquid saw the retirement of a long-time employee and all-around great guy: Mr. Bob Baxter. Bob is currently the Regional Sales Manager for the Northeast Region. (Although that also includes Iowa and Minnesota. Bob evidently likes to travel.) Bob has been with AgroLiquid for 18 years, starting as an Area Manager, then Sales Account Manager and then up to Regional Sales Manager. So I have known Bob for all of his time here, and like everyone else, I have the utmost respect for the guy. You will always get an honest answer from him and he has had some great input in the growth of AgroLiquid over the years. Troy and Jill Bancroft make an acknowledgement of his service to the company as well as to growers over a very wide area.
A warm embrace as the crowd goes wild. The room was actually full of AgroLiquid corporate office employees (plus the NCRS) as well as fellow Regional Managers and Sales Account Managers of the NE Region. There were a couple of other tributes as well, and then a great homemade meal.
Bob still has a couple more weeks on the job, so this is no time to rest on his laurels. There is still fertilizer to be sold! But he will be missed by all. If you are reading this and don't know Bob, well you would be better off if you did. And if you are ever in Blanchard, MI, stop by and say "Hi." Good luck Bob!
