Barenbrug USA has expanded its leadership team again and named Joel Reagan as the national sales manager for professional forage.

“Joel has nearly 25 years’ experience in forage and livestock and has most recently led our forage product management,” said Justin Burns, VP sales.

Reagan has been with the Tangent, Oregon-based firm for over seven years, starting as a business development manager for professional forage.

“He has excelled in his previous position and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in the professional forage industry,” said Barenbrug USA.

The turf company said Reagan will manage the sales functions for the individual sectors, including managing the external sales teams.

“Joel has a keen eye for business development opportunities and a proven track record of creating opportunities for our customers by connecting our partners with end user demand,” said Burns.
