One of our sponsors for coverage of the 2011 World Dairy Expo is Accelerated Genetics. Here’s Joel Groskreutz, President/CEO. We offer congratulations on multiple levels to the company this year. It is the 70th anniversary for Accelerated Genetics and they have received some major awards.

I visited with Joel in their booth and learned that business has been really good this year. He says one of their best kept secrets is how significant their international business is, handled by WorldWide Sires, a company they own fifty percent of. Listen in on my conversation with Joel below to learn more about the cooperative and their achievements.

The theme for this momentous achievement is ‘Celebrating 70 Years of Innovation.’ “Throughout our rich history, we have been the innovators, early adopters of new ideas, leading us to the new age of diversification, all directed by the needs of our customers,” comments Joel Groskreutz, Accelerated Genetics’ President and Chief Executive Officer.

Accelerated Genetics is a cooperative symbolized by strength and vision. The strength of the cooperative is truly it’s people. Employees are known for their integrity of conducting business and their knowledge of the sires, products and services they provide.

The vision of Accelerated Genetics comes from utilizing member involvment of the cooperative. Groskreutz continues, “I believe in that principle. Our customer’s input is important and provides the vision needed to direct the company’s operations.”
