Hagie was presented with the award at the Wisconsin Crop Production Association conference and trade show in Madison, WI. Accepting the trophy for Hagie was Chad Georgeson, a sales representative for the Clarion, IA-based company.
“I’m honored to accept this award on behalf of Hagie,” said Georgeson. “Hagie has a long history working with big iron, going all the way back to the company’s first product in 1947. It’s nice to know that this tradition of excellence continues and is being recognized.”
