Kevin Fowler received his BS in Agriculture, majoring in Animal Science, in 1987 and his MS in Agricultural Economics in 1989 both from the Ohio State University. His master’s thesis “An Initial Inquiry into the Circumstances Affecting Profitability Among Modern Cow-Calf Enterprises in Southeastern Ohio” co-authored with Dr. Thomas Stout became one of the seminal works in the various ‘improved grass’ and ‘grazing’ initiatives of the OSU Extension and the NRCS in Ohio.
After several years of sales work in the seed, fertilizer and feed industry, Kevin & his wife, Laura, started Fowler Seed Marketing, a family business devoted to bringing the best available forage products to clients in and around Ohio. Along the way, their understanding of soil fertility and plant nutrition developed through their relationship with Agri-Energy Resources of Princeton, Illinois, a company devoted to improving the nutritional value of food and feed crops using biological tools and methods.
Kevin & Laura both grew-up with livestock. Together with their seven children, they have direct marketed freezer beef, lamb, pork and farm-fresh eggs since the mid-1990’s. They have always used the products they sell, gaining valuable insight into the benefits and challenges of new products and methods. In recent years, raising ‘dairy-quality’ forages has become a focus to support their grass-finished beef operation.
Today, Kevin serves as Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Fowler Seed Marketing which provides marketing and consulting support as well as high-quality forage products and fertility programs to maximize their genetic potential for a network of clients and dealers in and around Ohio.
