Steve was MNP’s Director of Ag Risk Management Resources (ARMR) from 2000 to 2023. Based in Lethbridge, AB, he worked with team members and agricultural producers across Canada from various sectors and geography and was dedicated to helping them understand programs like AgriStability, AgriInvest, crop insurance, Global Ag Risk Solutions, and Just Solutions.
