Market Development Director Sam Anderson connects you with the right strategic partner for your grain buying needs. He has an acute focus on logistics and quality of Montana’s grains and spends a large part of his time in close contact with research teams from Montana State University and other critical partners. Sam communicates regularly with Montana producers and you can count on him to be an integral part of your Montana business awareness. 

Sam arrived to MWBC in 2019. Raised in southern Minnesota, Sam’s passion for expanding the wheat and barley industry began with those Minnesota roots. He holds a B.S. in Agricultural Economics and a minor in Agricultural Systems Management from North Dakota State University where he gained small grains experiences as a crop scout and an NDSU research assistant. His beginning professional role gave him grain trading company experience where he reported elevator inventories and accounting. When the company acquired an organic wheat business, he strengthened his resume by working in that small team environment.

Sam and his wife, Kelsey, live in Helena, MT. He loves the outdoors and spends his spare time mountain biking, entering local bike races, and downhill skiing in the winter. He also loves rooting for the Minnesota Vikings NFL football team.
