The Superior Express -

Cole Epley has realized his dream of returning home to Nuckolls County to live and work.

Epley is a 2014 Lawrence-Nelson High School graduate. He has three younger sisters, Hallie, Emma and Hayden. He was raised in the Nora community.

After high school graduation he attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, earning a degree in ag economics. In 2015, while attending UN-L, he began working for Futuresone, a company dealing in futures trading. He worked in the sales department. He graduated from UN-L in December 2017. He continued his employment with Futuresone after graduation.

He was offered the opportunity to move back to Nuckolls County when an opening for this area was offered to him. He was initially covering 20 counties but his workload has been increased to oversee 120 counties in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and South Dakota.

He was working from his home in Nora, which he shares with his wife, Amber. A remodeling project provided the impetus to open an Epley Ag office in Superior. His office is located on North Dakota Street, across from Casey’s.

He has branched out in the services he is offering. In addition to his Futuresone work, he is a distributor for Ag Gold Seeds, a corn and soybean seed producer. He also represents Star Seeds, which produces wheat and lawn seeds among others. He also offers agronomy and soil sampling services. As if he doesn’t have enough to do, he also raises cattle on his farm near Nora.

Epley noted he is happy to be back in the Nuckolls County community and looks forward to helping farmers in South Central Nebraska and North Central Kansas with their agricultural needs.
