Camping, Cows & Crop Protection: Ron Geis Tells All

Ron Geis, a Nebraska native turned proud Iowan, who’s spent decades advancing agriculture in multiple ways — from working in crop protection with Corteva Agriscience, to helping run a family cow-calf operation, to mentoring the next generation of ag leaders.

Ron reflects on growing up on a dairy farm and how those early mornings and hard lessons shaped his outlook on life and work. He shares what it’s been like to witness — and contribute to — the evolution of crop protection technology throughout his career. His background in agricultural education also shines through, offering insight into how he communicates with growers and supports Corteva’s mission across Iowa and beyond.

But it’s not all business — we get to know Ron on a personal level, too. He opens up about working alongside his wife on their cattle operation, camping adventures in their “hotel on wheels,” and the joy his grandchildren bring to his life. Ron even shares what advice he’d pass along to young people considering a career in agriculture.

As always, we wrap up with a fun either/or round, and Ron leaves us with thoughtful advice as we all look ahead to the 2025 season.
