Employing The Lessons Learned

摘要

Asmark Institute's Allen Summers says that the West Fertilizer tragedy has brought the retail industry together in the quest for best management practices and high safety standards. ARGUABLY, nobody in agriculture fielded more calls from retailers andthe media in the wake of the West Fertilizer disaster than Allen Summers, president of the Asmark Institute. That's what happens when you've seen virtually everything that can be seen in ag retail, and channel that knowledge and experience toward helping retailers understand and manage the myriad regulations and best practices that help protect our communities and businesses. After the initial tidal wave of calls began to subside ("I was on the phone non-stop for days ... I was even getting calls in the evening at home," says Summers), he shared some of his thoughts on the whole experience.
