KAS tags new director of sales

Koch Agronomic Services (KAS) named Edmund Carmody its new director of sales, turf and ornamental. Carmody is tasked with aligning sales teams and channel partners to help educate and support continued growth, demand for enhanced efficiency fertilizers.

“Any type of technology—whether it’s equipment, irrigation or, in this case, fertilizer technology—needs to be revisited under today’s standards,” Carmody said. “The reality is we must find new ways of doing the same or more with less.”

Carmody has worked in the specialty fertilizer market since the mid ’90s. He has extensive experience as a superintendent and was a technical sales representative for the Scotts Co., Pursell Technologies and Great Salt Lake Minerals Corp.

He holds a degree in turf grass management from Michigan State University and a business degree from Walsh College.
