About Frank

I was inherited to genAG from the KMS buyout. They put new t-shirts on me and the rest is history.

I've been serving the row crop industry for 25+ years and have gotten to know plenty of folks over the years. 

When I'm not working, I work on my "Mr. Bean" impression. I've been told I'm pretty good at it.

About Clint

I have been working in the parts department for over 27 years, starting in 1996 at Kroeker Machinery Sales which eventually became genAG Inc. My passion at work is working with our customers and employees. I love switching customers over to the brands that genAG sells and making sure that they are happy with their purchases.

I believe that what sets me apart is my determination to never let a customer down. I am confident that I can find any part for any machine known to man. Over the years, I am proud to have built a great team and consistently hit record parts sales year after year. I have even received awards for the highest parts sales for a Horsch dealer!

Although I didn't grow up with a farming background, I love being with customers and learning more about what they need. I grew up in many places in Southern MB and got married in 1998 to Andrea. We have two kids, Ethan (19) and Brooklyn (16). I used to bowl a lot when I was younger and represented Team Manitoba and Team Canada in tournaments.

About Melinda

One of my fondest memories is riding around the village with my grandfather on his old, puttering tractor. I loved feeling the wind in my hair and being in control of the steering while he worked the pedals and brakes. As I've grown older, I've realized the value of authenticity and strive to be the same way with everyone I meet. Whether I'm with family, friends, or customers, I believe in being genuine and true to myself.

About Andy

Agriculture has always been a part of my life, having been born and raised on a grain farm in Starbuck, Manitoba. After completing my Agriculture Diploma many years ago, I found myself drawn to the learning atmosphere of genAG.

I have decades of mechanical experience under my belt and have even been referred to as a McGyver. I love finding creative solutions to problems and taking on new challenges. Currently, I am enrolled in a Kubota Sales Training program where integrity is of paramount importance.

In my free time, I love to have fun and go fast (even as I mature with age), but I must admit that I don't like cleaning up messes. I am a self-proclaimed "practically boring" person, but I believe that my humility and honesty make me an asset to any team.

About Greg

I am not your ordinary Ag equipment salesperson, but a true embodiment of the farming spirit. Born and raised on a family farm in the heart of Southeastern Manitoba, I have developed a deep-rooted passion for agriculture from a young age. Growing up tending to livestock and machinery, along with working in the family feed mill, I have learned the ins and outs of farming and Ag business, and it has become an integral part of my life.

My journey into the world of agricultural equipment sales was a natural progression of my agricultural heritage. I recognize that the modern farmer requires not only hard work and dedication but also access to the latest and most efficient equipment to thrive in today's rapidly evolving agriculture industry.

When I am not working with farmers, attending product training or agricultural trade shows, you can find me with family, at church, golfing with my wife, or at a hockey rink!

I graduated with my CGA, CPA designation in 2015.  I grew up on a farm, and I love that I can “combine” my love of Accounting & Business to serving the farming community.  I’ve been known to enjoy having a little fun at work through things like harmless pranks, or small jersey swapping Sports bets.

I love spending time with my wife & my 2 year old son.  I’m also an avid sports fan & “weekend warrior”.  I’m passionate about volunteering at the YFC Youth Drop-In, and I love to show the love of Jesus to teens that need the hope, encouragement & support that they may not be getting in their lives.

I hold a degree in Business Administration, with a major in Accounting. Later on, I added a specialization in Human Resources, as I've always been passionate about understanding human relationships and behaviors.

One of my fondest childhood memories was visiting my extended family's farms frequently. It was there that I developed a deep appreciation for hard work and the importance of agriculture. In fact, I even worked as an office manager for a farm operation in the past!

My passion for genuinely caring for others and tackling the tough conversations is what drives me each day. I believe that by building strong relationships and fostering open communication, we can achieve great things together.
