Membership services at Accelerated Genetics is a job that Jim Iverson has held for 35 years. That means he has worked for the organization for half of its existence since Accelerated is celebrating 70 years this year. Quite an achievement and that really says something about what has contributed to their success, the team.
Jim says they “have a passion for the industry and pride in servicing their customers.” The team is so very important because as he puts it “if you’re the best salesman in the world, if you don’t have the genetic people behind you getting the quality sires, the barn crew taking care of healthy bulls, a good communications department, management people making good management decisions,” then you won’t be as successful as you could be. You will hear real pride in Jim’s voice in my interview with him just prior to their International Reception and Dinner at this year’s World Dairy Expo.

World Wide Sires, LTD. teamed up with Accelerated Genetics to host a World Dairy Expo International Reception and Dinner. Here’s John Schouten, World Wide Sires CEO (center) with some of the guests. The organization is owned by Accelerated Genetics and Select Sires.
World Wide Sires, Ltd. is the world’s leading cattle genetics marketing organization representing the majority of the U.S. Artificial Insemination Cooperatives. In an atmosphere of trust and cooperation, World Wide Sires brings together suppliers and customers to promote efficient global livestock production. Quality genetics, high integrity, personal contact and superior customer service are the cornerstones for ensuring continued market leadership.
I talked with John before the evening’s activities got underway. He says World Wide Sires is celebrating forty years and he’s been with the company for twenty five of them. He does a little bit of travel as the territory they serve has grown. “Traditionally, our key markets have been located in western Europe as the company got started but today we have new and exciting markets in places like China, India and Russia.” He’s proud to represent the best genetics in the world to their customers. He’s very optimistic about growth in trade even in countries where we currently have marketing challenges. I asked him the thing he’d like his customers to think of when they think of World Wide Sires. He says, “Service with a smile.”

One of the international visitors to World Dairy Expo was Dr. Gonzalo Maldonado, Tri-State S.A.S, Colombia. I met him at the Accelerated Genetics and World Wide Sires International Reception and Dinner. Dr. Maldonado has been working with them for 43 years!
Dr. Maldonado says that when he got started the idea of artificial insemination was a tough sell. He basically had to conduct training sessions and educate dairy farmers about the benefits of improved genetics. Since then he says production has increased. He’s optimistic for the outlook for even more improved production in Colombia. Training and specialized advice is still very needed though.

Congratulations to Accelerated Genetics for receiving the 2011 Wisconsin Governor’s Export Achievement Award. The Governor’s Export Achievement Awards are presented annually to Wisconsin-based companies actively involved in export trade. Criteria include degree of export-related growth; innovative techniques and approaches that resulted in the company’s success; and demonstration of extra effort in capturing worldwide markets.
Governor Scott Walker presented the annual Export Achievement Awards on Tuesday, May 10th, to recognize firms and organizations that have achieved extraordinary results in international sales or have contributed to Wisconsin’s increased ability to compete in a global market. Walker says the companies serve as excellent examples of how to succeed in international markets, and proved they could prosper despite the ups and downs of the global economy.
Accelerated Genetics was recognized for being a top agricultural exporter, doing half of its business outside the country. Since the company sold its first order of semen internationally in 1957, the cooperative has kept the philosophy of ‘customer needs come first.’ In 2008, Accelerated Genetics constructed a 24-stall European Union Qualified Sire Isolation facility and over the past few years has also initiated cutting-edge marketing techniques to promote their sires. They have also added people to its team who are native to various countries to help cross the bridge into the global community.
“Our tremendous growth in international sales is a result of many things. Our international sales team’s efforts, the respect that international dairy and beef producers have for our genetics program and the great superiority of the American beef and dairy genetics which enhance our efforts to meet the needs of many diverse and evolving markets around the world,” says Gary Fassett vice president of sales and communication for Accelerated Genetics.
“The international sales have enabled Accelerated Genetics to better serve our membership including their needs for competitive prices, superior genetics, a complete line of animal health products, and providing reproduction management programs along with other services.” Fassett adds, “Our cooperative members also benefit from our international sales in that Accelerated Genetics can sample more young sires which will position the company very well to provide long-term service to our membership.”
