Introducing Brad Bercot, our Inventory Control Lead! For the past 2.5 years, Brad has been improving inventory accuracy and warehouse workflow at A.M. Leonard. His favorite part of the job is tackling whatever unique daily challenges come his way and learning new skills from them. Brad loves collaborating with different departments to solve problems, and he truly values his great team of coworkers. Outside of work, Brad loves going to auctions, aiming to attend a few each month to find items to flip online. He gets a thrill from discovering great deals and enjoys chatting with others about their auction or garage sale finds. Brad also loves spending time with his family. He and his wife have a 2-year-old daughter. Brad is always finding new ways to entertain his daughter and cherish family moments. Thank you, Brad, for all you do for A.M. Leonard!

At A.M. Leonard, we've had the honor of working with many incredible individuals in the horticultural industry who go above and beyond to make a positive impact. Today, we're shining a spotlight on Michael Strasburger and Rodney Rulon. They recently hosted the 'Soil Health and Sustainability for Midwestern Field Staff', a 3-day soil health training offered by CCSI. This training is a requirement for anyone seeking a Conservation Planner certification from USDA-NRC. Strasburger and Rulon shared their knowledge and experience with the training attendees without expecting any compensation. The Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative (CCSI) is a program of the Indiana Conservation Partnership. CCSI's mission is to enhance soil health on Indiana cropland through outreach, education, and providing tools for partners working with farmers and landowners. To commemorate their dedication, CCSI ordered 6 of the King Of Spades Spades with footpads from AM Leonard and got a company to engrave "CCSI: Improving Soil Health on Indiana Cropland" on the handle. Both of the inaugural shovel presentations were met with huge smiles and thanks—a small token of thanks for what these farmers have done to promote regenerative ag.
