Charles reflected, 'While growing up, I always knew that I would work in the family business and was proud to be the first degreed engineer for the company.  Evidently Dad thought it would be cheaper to raise an engineer rather than hire one!  I was one of the few students at Iowa State that knew exactly what I would be doing after graduation.'  Charles is now 65 years old, the same age as when his father transitioned from being president in 1995.

Charles Sukup has a bachelors and master's degree in Agricultural Engineering from Iowa State University. He served as Chair of the Iowa Association of Business & Industry and President of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers. He is a registered Professional Engineer, a professor at Iowa State University, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He also is a board member of the National Association of Manufacturers and Chair of America's Cultivation Corridor.
