“I am absolutely thrilled for Erin to come on board. We’ve worked together in the past, and our skills and energies really complement each other,” remarks Halverson. “She thinks strategically and creatively to find opportunities for success and has a passion to help others thrive. I’ve witnessed her take personal accountability for client work – ensuring whatever the plan is, it’s first and foremost right for their business beyond anything else.”

“I’m a farm girl at heart, and marketer in my brain. Agriculture is in my blood, and I’m ecstatic to get back to ag marketing, which really is my passion - helping those who are involved in agriculture from the field to the plate, and strategically telling their story to help grow their business” Dickson says. She also brings an agricultural economics degree and MBA for North Dakota State University to the table.
Halverson is really looking forward to the growth of Ten Acre Marketing with Dickson by her side. “We’re still a relatively new company, but our experience and network is really quite vast.

Erin & I also have a similar mind set in how we work – Our goal at the end of every single day is to always enjoy the process and appreciate the impact of our work.”
Ten Acre Marketing has clients that range from growers to ag real estate, to produce importers and farm equipment manufacturers. “The way that food gets from the field to the plate is amazing and complex. I know that we, as Ten Acre Marketing can really uplift those companies strategically in the market place and set them up for success.” Dickson commented.
