Brent Swart farms near Spencer in Clay County, Iowa. He grows soybeans and corn with his brother, Steve. Farming for 15 years, Swart is the 5^th generation managing their land.

Passionate about agronomics, Swart received a master’s degree in crop production and physiology from Iowa State University and works as a field agronomist for Pioneer in addition to farming full time.

Young in his leadership but accruing ample experience, Swart has attended the American Soybean Association (ASA) Leadership College and was an ASA Young Leader.

He traveled to Port of Washington, Grays Harbor, as part of the ISA board and saw firsthand the export process soybeans undergo when leaving the country.
