Harvesting Gratitude

November 2019 

“The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest.” — William Blake

Through the good years and the bad, there is always something to be thankful for. At Stine, we count our blessings every single day that we’re able to wake up, go to work, spend time assisting our grower customers and come home to our families. As we approach Thanksgiving, a time for gathering and for giving thanks, we want to express our sincerest gratitude to all those who have touched our lives. Thank you for being there for us, and thank you for your loyalty and trust in the Stine brand. Here are a few messages of gratitude from our team.  

“I am thankful for the incredible support from my wife, Jessica, oldest son, Bryce, and our new addition, Wyatt. I am blessed to have this new opportunity with Stine and to have a career that I truly enjoy. I would also like to extend my blessings to my immediate family in Iowa and Saudi Arabia and to my extended family scattered throughout the country."
— Tyler Kytola, production

“I am thankful for all things in life that are beautiful and for everything that brings interest, excitement and accomplishment. I’m extremely grateful to have a supportive family and friends who are always there to offer a helping hand when needed. I’m thankful to be involved with world agriculture, and to be given the chance to make even the slightest difference on its impact toward human progress.”
— Myron Stine, president

“I am grateful that my family is near, and we are able to celebrate the holiday season together. I am blessed to be in a position in my life to give back to others. I am grateful to be surrounded by so many supportive people in all aspects of my life. But mostly, I am thankful for my three boys: Tristan, Mason and Kael.”
— Jessica Drake, marketing coordinator

“I am so thankful for the many blessings God has given me in my life. I’m thankful for my job at Stine and for the great group of people I get to work with on a daily basis. I am thankful for my wonderful family, which includes my parents, two sisters, four brothers and my many nieces and nephews. I am thankful for my loving and supportive husband, Greg, for our two amazing daughters, Makayla and Makenzie, and for our little boy that we will be welcoming into the world in February 2020.”
— Tamara Davisson, administrative assistant

“This year, I am most thankful for my health, family and career. It has been a year of many changes for Dee and me; we made a major move around Christmas last year, leaving our home of 32 years in Indiana to the greater Des Moines area. We have felt welcomed by the communities, church and Stine Seed Company. With all of the changes, it opened opportunities for a lot of stress, but we are both thankful for all of the help we have had in making the many adjustments needed to make this area our new home. We are also thankful for our children and grandchildren and for being a part of their lives.”
— Kenneth Wolf, director of training–sales

“I am beyond thankful for the amazing life and assurance God has given me. I’m grateful for my family, friends, health and happiness. I’m also thankful to work in an industry that hosts the most dedicated, hard-working people that persevere through any challenge. I’m thankful for the opportunities Stine has given me and the relationships that have been built in my time here.”
— Bethany Oland, regional sales agronomist
