Founded in 2008, Cropping Central LLC is an authorized Pioneer representative based in Edgar, Wisconsin – in Marathon County.

Owner Chad Erickson started the business after eight years in agronomy sales, where he sold Pioneer Seed and crop insurance. He and his knowledgeable team are focused on providing the right services and products at the right time to help customers succeed.

An ag veteran, Chad was raised northeast of Wausau on an 80-cow dairy operation. Today he farms 240 acres of corn and soybeans, as well as five acres of pumpkins his family sells on the roadside.

Chad maintains his status as a Certified Crop Advisor and has a deep involvement with Farm Bureau, serving as Marathon County Young Farm Chair for eight years, District 8 Young Farmer Chair on the State Board, and Marathon County Vice President and Director from 2008 to 2017. Chad received the Distinguished Service to Agriculture award presented by Marathon County Farm Bureau.
