From his training and observations, he decided to pursue the crop insurance subdivision. Cole grew up in Garden Plain, Kansas, and helps on the family farm where they raise Angus cattle, wheat, soybeans, and sorghum. His risk management services involve the territories of Sedgwick, Harper, Sumner, Kingman and other neighboring counties. Cole chose to further his career with Team Marketing Alliance because of the services they provide to producers by reducing risk and increasing revenue on their farm.
