Andy Gilson serves as the PCM Specialist for the Western IL Region, bringing deep agricultural roots and extensive industry experience to the role. A lifelong resident of Mason County, Andy is the fifth generation of his family to work in production agriculture. He graduated from Havana High School before continuing his education at Spoon River College and Western Illinois University.
Andy spent many years in ag retail, where he built a strong foundation as an applicator, crop scout, and sales professional. Since 2018, he has also operated his family’s farm, implementing a range of conservation practices across all acres. His combination of practical farming experience and conservation-focused management provides valuable insight to the producers he serves.
Andy is also actively involved in his community. He serves as a director on the Mason County Farm Bureau Board, a trustee at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Havana, an assistant coach for the Havana High School boys’ golf team, and the president of the Havana Rotary Club.
Andy and his wife, Melissa, live in Mason County with their two sons, Ryan and Jack. He is enthusiastic about contributing to the PCM team and is committed to supporting producers by sharing the knowledge and firsthand experience he has gained through his own farming operation!
