Meet Sales Agronomist Derek Penzkover

Red Cedar Ag • March 1, 2026

Welcome to the Team, Derek

Derek Penzkover joins the RCA team as a Sales Agronomist, bringing both strong agronomic training and hands-on field experience in Wisconsin. Originally from the Blue Hills of Rice Lake, WI, Derek studied Soil Science at UW–Stevens Point, where he developed a passion for the science, complexity, and work ethic that drive agriculture. He comes to RCA from AgGrow Solutions in Custer, WI, serving growers across the Central Sands with a focus on practical recommendations that perform in the field.


Derek is excited to be part of RCA because of the team’s innovative mindset and commitment to making management and product placement decisions grounded in solid data, always aiming to deliver the best ROI for the grower. Outside of work, he enjoys hunting, fishing, cross-country skiing, and running. He is married to his wife, Carolyn, and they’re proud to call Wisconsin home. 

Derek is looking forward to building relationships with growers and helping them make confident, results-driven decisions season after season.
