Bart Nelson is 'Just One of the Players' at Nelson Irrigation Corporation

Bart Nelson, Chairman and CEO of Nelson Irrigation Corporation in Walla Walla, walks through the company's manufacturing facility greeting employees by name. They universally smile and give him a friendly greeting in return, showing their affection and respect for the man. It's obvious the respect goes both ways: "I'm just one of the players on the team," Nelson says. "Whatever success we've had was because of lots of people helping: farmers, friends, family, teachers, and loyal customers."
