Premier Farm Credit recently announced the addition of Lee Salyards as Director of Marketing and Communications.

"We are pleased to have Lee join our team. Her strong marketing and sales background along with her passion for supporting the agriculture industry makes her an excellent addition to our team," said Chief Executive Officer Mike Grauberger.

Salyards graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing from University of Northern Iowa. She was a marketing intern at a performing arts center and worked at John Deere as a student. Following graduation, Lee worked in medical sales.

Lee and her husband, Colton live outside of Haxtun, with their two boys. The family was able to relocate back to her husband's hometown in 2019.

"Haxtun is a great community to raise a family and I was excited to be close to my in-laws and the memories their family farm brings," Lee said. In her free time outside of work, Lee enjoys cooking, gardening and staying active.

"I'm excited to join the Premier team. I love the rural lifestyle, strong work ethic and traditions of northeast Colorado and look forward to serve as the association's marketing lead. I enjoy getting involved in community events and meeting customers."
