Mike Schneider is the proud Axis Seed owner of Lakeland Ag in Morris, Minnesota. His wife Shelly and children Barron, Gabrielle, and Lincoln love being apart of an energetic seed company! Meet Mike!
Mike is a South Dakota State University Graduate and Certified Crop Advisor. After graduation he worked for 6 years for Cargill Inc. in retail agronomy at locations in both Minnesota and South Dakota. Mike continued his seed path and expanded his work to Syngenta Seeds NK brand as a District Sales Manager. After his 10 year tour of duty with corporate america Mike decided it was time to start his own business and he moved his growing family back to my his home area of West Central MN. There, he evaluated his best options and decided that partnering with Axis Seed as one of the original owners was the best option for both his customers and business.
Axis Seed’s tremendous access to a wide variety of trait options and their family feel made me appreciate the freedom of being an Axis owner. That same freedom also allows us to set up programs and determine our line-up by making decisions with our customers in mind and due to feedback from our customers.
In addition to my work with Lakeland Ag, I am also a partner in our family farm. This helps bring me perspective as I work first hand with and position products in our fields as well as customers fields. It also helps me understand the challenges and opportunities that our Axis customers are experiencing.
