Australian Grain Technologies (AGT) is pleased to announce the appointment of Brad Koster as Variety Support Manager for South Australia, based at the company’s Roseworthy Field Crop Breeding Centre.

Brad commenced with AGT in early 2021 in an agronomy and marketing support role but has quickly been promoted to managing AGT’s variety awareness and technical support activities throughout SA.

“I’m very excited to take on this role and to have an opportunity to contribute to the continued success of a great company”.

“I love the diversity that comes with the job, it covers variety marketing and promotion, seed production, agronomy, trial work and technical support”.

“This year we are bringing some exciting new varieties and crop types to market, and I’m looking forward to getting out to field days and chatting to growers, listening to their feedback and using the opportunity to put my experience to use.”

AGT’s Head of Variety Support, Dan Vater, said the appointment was an important one to get right.

“Brad’s a perfect fit for our company, with great understanding of the challenges facing SA croppers, excellent attention to detail and work ethic, and a genuine interest in helping farmers do well”.
