Tod Anderson grew up in the country in Washington IL. All his life he has been around agriculture and horses. While growing up he worked for local farmers working on the farm, out in the field, and basically anything else that really needed to be done. He worked with hogs and cows and his favorite was working out in the field. He went Bradley University first to study surveying which then he transferred to Illinois Central College to study Agriculture. After he finished his degree at ICC he then transferred to Illinois State University to get his bachelor’s degree in Agriculture Business.
He has always ended up back at his roots which is agriculture. He has always loved it and it is something that he feels he still learns new things every day and enjoys it still. He has jumped all over the board in agriculture. He was in the fertilizer business for a few years, and then once his youngest daughter was born he moved on to Garst Seed Company which then was bought and turned into Syngenta. Now he is a sales manager for River Valley Coop out of Geneseo IL.
He has even spread his love for agriculture to two of his daughters. The eldest has received a degree in Equine Science to hopefully take over the horse farm one day and the middle is working towards an Agricultural Communication Degree at ISU. The best part of all of this is he is my dad!
