A New Territory: Jacob DeLay Expands Role to Equipment Sales
While this resident TikTok creator extraordinaire, Jacob DeLay, is not new to Stutsmans or the manure equipment division, he is expanding his current role to include sales to the Illinois territory. His background growing up on a cow-calf operation in Milo, IA, degree from Iowa State University in agricultural studies, time at the Iowa State University dairy farm, and experience as a flow control and electronics technician at Stutsmans make Jacob a perfect fit for this new role helping customers find the perfect manure equipment for their operations’ needs. He will soon hit the road to start serving customers in his new position.
