“…he has spent his whole career helping farmers increase production efficiency, and that is exactly what taking cost out is about.”
Powell, Ohio, Sept. 22 2026 — Tanner Schuldt has joined Meristem Crop Performance® as a senior sales representative and Take Cost Out Specialist (TCOS) covering Western Minnesota and North Dakota.
Veteran agricultural sales leader Tanner Schuldt has joined Meristem Crop Performance®, one of the fastest-growing crop input suppliers in America. Schuldt will serve as a senior sales Take Cost Out Specialist (TCOS) across Western Minnesota and North Dakota, working directly with farmers to lower cost per bushel.
“Tanner is an incredibly passionate professional who has spent more than a decade in the cab and on the farm with growers who are trying to do more with fewer passes and fewer inputs,” said Mitch Eviston, Meristem founder and CEO. “Take Cost Out Specialist isn’t just a title here — it’s the job. He has spent his whole career helping farmers put strip-till and precision technology into action to increase production efficiency, and that is exactly what taking cost out is about.”
Schuldt lives in Elysian, Minn., with his wife, Amanda, and their three children. He is an Eagle Scout and a former college athlete. He is a graduate of Minnesota State University, Mankato, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in geography and earth science.
Prior to coming to Meristem, Schuldt spent more than 10 years with Environmental Tillage Systems, manufacturer of the SoilWarrior strip-till and precision nutrient placement platform. As the company’s leading SoilWarrior salesman, he built first-hand knowledge and expertise in improving fertility and nutrient placement. Schuldt will continue to support his SoilWarrior customer base during the transition to Meristem.
“Meristem’s mission, product portfolio and farmer-first approach provides the perfect setting to deploy my skills and passion for production efficiency,” Schuldt said. “The opportunity to bring new innovations through Meristem’s Bio-Capsule® technology platform — like Hopper Throttle® MaxStax soybeans with a $60 replant program and Upshift® C Pro concentrate starter replacement that cuts cost by 50% — is extremely exciting.”
