Erich Wickman's love for farming started from a young age as he grew up on a crop and livestock farm in southwest Iowa. After graduating from the University of Montana in 1981, he started his farming career working on a cattle ranch up until the spring of 1982. After leaving the ranch, he moved back to Iowa to continue livestock farming until 1994 when he shifted into selling farm chemicals.
Erich's chemical business started in 1995 on a dirt floor of a machine shed and evolved into Wickman Chemical in 1998 when Erich and his wife Tammy officially started the company. Their business grew rapidly and in 2002 they built their current Iowa facility by selling equipment and renting out their farms. Over the next 11 years, they continued to grow the company and expanded to a second location in Oxford, Kansas.
We have team members in Iowa and Kansas dedicated to helping you find the right chemicals for your farm.
Before coming to Wickman Chemical, I spent the last 7 years in agronomy sales at a coop in southwest Iowa. I spend part of my week on the road meeting with growers in our area. Call me if you want to discuss options of meeting at your farm. In my spare time, I enjoy hunting and fishing.
I am a native of Kansas City, MO. In 2013, I helped open our Kansas location. I enjoy helping local farmers in my spare time when it doesn't interfere with watching KU basketball.
Before joining the Wickman Chemical team I was a custom applicator for 7 years for area coops. I was born and raised in Wellington, KS and now live in Clearwater, KS with my wife and 3 children. In my spare time I enjoy riding horses and roping.
I am a graduate from Southwestern College with Bachelor's degrees in Business and Accounting. Prior to joining the Wickman family I worked in various accounting roles for both the aircraft and oil industries. My husband, daughter, son and I live in Oxford, KS. When I am not at the office I enjoy staying busy with the kids and a couple of groups in the community.
Before coming to Wickman Chemical I was a retail store manager for 10 years. I live in Atlantic, IA with my husband Dan and my son, Chad. I enjoy cooking and they enjoy eating!
I am a CPA responsible for the financial and accounting systems of the Wickman entities. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Accounting from the University of Northern Iowa. My wife, daughter, and I live on an acreage near Adair, IA, where we enjoy tending to a small cow herd.
I live on an acreage in the Atlantic area with my wife. I received a degree from Iowa State University in Computer Science and have worked as a computer support tech and programmer for over 25 years. Gardening and farming are my outside interests.
I grew up in Kimballton, IA and now live in Audubon. My hobbies are mechanics and snowmobiling. I try to travel to Wyoming with my friends a couple times a year.

I grew up on a farm in Atlantic, IA. My wife, Tammy, and I farmed and raised hogs before starting Wickman Chemical. Our businesses, farms, and five children keep us busy and entertained. Go hunting, go Hawks, and go Chiefs!
