As our Production Manager, Zach has been with Prairie Band Ag for over two years. Zach was born and raised in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, right in the heart of the grass seed capital of the world. Early in his career, he spent most of his industrial work overseeing the pressing facilities and exporting grass seed and straw overseas. During his time in that industry, he worked for three of Oregon’s most predominant straw-exporting companies. That unique work experience led Zach to work as a lead supervisor for the agricultural sector of the largest Shell biogas facility in the United States. Zach now supervises the farming and hemp processing facility for Prairie Band Ag.
