About Tom Buman

Tom BumanMy deep commitment to agriculture and concern for the environment stems from my early years, working alongside my father and four brothers on the family farm in southwest Iowa. Today I continue to build on that commitment by working to create innovative solutions for pressing problems that affect farmers and the environment.

With over 30 years’ experience in conservation planning I am widely recognized as a passionate visionary and thought leader. For 22 years as CEO, I led the Agren team, producing innovative results for every client. Responsible for driving business development and strategic partnerships, I am highly regarded for my creativity, innovation and commitment to developing solutions to further conservation implementation.
