Every January, Helena Agri‑Enterprises—one of New Leader’s largest end users—brings together hundreds of employees, supplier partners, and industry experts for a comprehensive two‑week training event. This annual gathering is a cornerstone for Helena’s teams nationwide, featuring in‑depth educational sessions, keynote speakers, hands‑on equipment training, and opportunities for collaboration across the agricultural community.
A highlight of the event each year is the presentation of Helena’s top honors: the Operator of the Year awards for each territory, and the Fenstermaker Service Award. These recognitions celebrate individuals who demonstrate exceptional performance, service, and dedication to Helena’s mission of helping customers succeed through agronomic expertise and operational excellence.
This year, we are proud to announce that New Leader’s own Jim Corbin, senior regional sales manager, has been named the 2025 recipient of the Fenstermaker Service Award—a prestigious honor that speaks to both his technical expertise and his unwavering commitment to customer support.
Jim celebrated his 20th year with New Leader in 2025, marking two decades of partnership, problem‑solving, and trusted service to our dealers and their customers. Throughout his career, Jim has built strong relationships across the industry, known for his practical knowledge, attention to detail, and the personal care he brings to every service interaction.
His dedication has made a lasting impact not just on Helena, but on the many teams and individuals who rely on New Leader equipment every day. Being selected for the Fenstermaker Service Award is a meaningful recognition of the professionalism and passion Jim brings to his work.
Please join us in congratulating Jim on this incredible achievement.
We’re proud to have him as part of the New Leader team, and we celebrate the example he sets for service excellence across the organization.
