We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Scott Besse, District Manager with Bayer Crop Sciences.   Scott, 53, passed away last Thursday after battling cancer.  He is survived by his wife Lora and children Casey and Tyler.  Scott was a dynamic guy, full of life and love for agriculture, his family and God.  

 

Go to www.schillingfuneralhome.com for details on services for Scott, which will be held on Tuesday, May 12 in Sterling, IL.   Scott's wife Lora has asked that in lieu of flowers, that donations be made to the Duke Cancer Institute and sent to Lora at 4975 E Lamm Road, Freeport IL 61032.   Please put in the check memo line "Adrenal Cortical Cancer Research"; this is the cancer Scott was battling.  

 

Our thoughts and prayers are with Scott's family and his Bayer Crop Sciences family.   He was a great guy who worked his entire career in the agribusiness industry and we are better for all he did for our profession.
