What Is Possible? Advancing Agriculture through AGvocacy, Partnerships, and Collaboration

Amy Asmus, vice president of the family-owned chemical supply company Asmus Farm Supply, took an unlikely path to agriculture. The Iowa State grad didn’t grow up on a farm, and she didn’t get a degree related to the farming industry. She joined her husband, Harlan, in running the Asmus family business and became a Certified Crop Advisor as an introduction to the work. Amy Asmus is now a leader in the field, sitting on the Board of Directors at the Agricultural Retailers Association and on the executive committee of the International Certified Crop Adviser board. She is also involved as a partner in SecureTracs, a business helping retailers comply with tank-tracking requirements, and is actively involved with Iowa State University Extension’s "Into the Field" initiative.
