He will serve as the communication link between the AHA and breeders in Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.

“We are extremely pleased to be able to hire an experienced and talented individual like Levi as the North Central field representative,” says Joe Rickabaugh, AHA director of field management and seedstock marketing. “Levi brings to our team four years of experience selling advertising and working sales as a field rep for Western Livestock Reporter.
