On December 18, 2015, the Hansen Agri-PLACEMENT family lost a leader, mentor and friend with the passing of company founder, Jack Hansen, Sr.
Jack's impressive career spanned many decades, and his accomplishments speak for themselves. In his nearly 57 years at the helm of Hansen Agri-PLACEMENT, he sowed the seeds of hard work, integrity and entrepreneurship that enabled Hansen Agri-PLACEMENT to flourish and grow into a strong and dynamic global business.
Yet, Jack is remembered not just for his professional legacy. He was also widely regarded as a mentor and a friend whose empathy and warmth touched everyone he met. Many of the people he worked with over the years became dear friends.
His vision and leadership have left an indelible imprint on the lives of many people. Jack never wavered in his passion and determination to build his business and spread the word of God. Though his presence is irreplaceable, we rejoice in the knowledge that he now enjoys every day in his Heavenly home.
Jack Hansen, founder of Hansen Agri-PLACEMENT, was raised on a ranch in the western Nebraska sandhills. Jack's passion for agriculture and ag producers was kindled as a young boy working in his father's creamery. Jack's job was to take the butter fat content when the farmers brought in their cream and pay them accordingly.
Jack served in the Navy from 1952 to 1957 as an aerial photographer, flying from the deck of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Hancock off the coast of Korea during the Korean War. After returning from the service, he graduated from the University of Nebraska with a bachelor's degree in business administration.
