about us
“Family comes first. Work hard, treat people fairly and always be thankful.”
Local Connection Ag operates according to this motto from owner and founder, Nathan Louiso. Born in the Buckeye State and raised in a family-owned business, with a career in the seed industry since 2000, Nathan believes loyalty and customer service are the foundation to a successful business. Adam Conrad, general manager, has been an integral part of the team since 2018. He aligns with these fundamentals and brings a wealth of knowledge to continue the growth of Local Connection Ag. Our team is committed to helping you discover products and solutions that will work best for your operation.
I often get asked, “What was your motivation to start your own company?” In most people’s eyes I had a great job and was very comfortable. What was I thinking? When I ventured into entrepreneurship, I had a clear vision for what I wanted to do.
“FAMILY COMES FIRST. WORK HARD, TREAT PEOPLE FAIRLY AND ALWAYS BE THANKFUL.”
OUR GUIDING
PRINCIPLES
Our guiding principles have always remained the same:
1.) SEED SELECTION MATTERS.
The right genetics drive results. We’re committed to helping you make the best seed decisions with local expertise tailored to your acres.
2.) OHIO FARMING IS UNIQUE.
Success in Ohio requires a different approach than the “I” states. We’ll continue evaluating and recommending products that fit your soils, practices and yield goals.
3.) SUPPORT LOCAL.
Local Connection Ag reflects our commitment to this community. Our roots—and our investment—remain right here in Ohio agriculture.
4.) FAMILY AND TRUST.
Every decision is made with our families, our customers and the future in mind. We’re focused on building for the next generation while continuing to earn your trust every season.
5.) DO THE RIGHT THING.
You can always expect the same integrity—doing what we say, treating people right and putting your operation first.
