The Next Steps for Nelson Plant Food

Howdy! I am firing myself. Really. I am in the process of firing myself as President or Chairman, or whatever you want to call me. Why? I realized over a year ago that Nelson Plant Food is as successful as it is because of me. I also came to the conclusion that Nelson Plant Food is not as successful as it could be because of…ME. I have done all I can to grow this company over the past 43 years. It is time to let someone else, more qualified than I, take us to new heights. We do have a succession plan that includes family members. I want this company to stay in the family for generations to come. We have been implementing the process for over a year now. We will have a new General Manager in place by the end of the summer. We are developing our Human Resources policies now. We have finished our strategic planning this year. There will be some things that will never change here at Nelson Plant Food. Our culture will not change. We will always exercise our Christian values with our customers, vendors, and employees. We will always produce professional-grade fertilizers of the highest quality. We will always be family-owned and operated. What will Dean Nelson do now? I will have time to spend with customers. I want to be on the road and in front of people who use our products. I absolutely love meeting and getting to know those of you who have the confidence in us and our products.

Dean Nelson, Founder and Co-Owner
