Superior 3000 Foundation has selected Luke and Natalie Meyers, owners of Meyers Aerial Service, as winners of the 2020 Superior 3000 Foundation's Entrepreneur of the Year award. Among many other activities, Luke serves on the Superior School Board and as a director of Superior 3000 Foundation.
In 2010, Luke and Natalie Meyers bought Blackstone Aerial Spraying from Barry and Karla Blackstone. What started as a two location, two airplane business, has now grown into one of the state's largest independently owned aerial crop dusting services.
Meyers Aerial Service has locations operating in Superior, Red Cloud and Hastings. The business has grown to a five turbine-powered, GPS equipped, state of the art airplane operation. Meyers Aerial Service employs 17 full-time and part-time employees between their three locations.
The spray season starts in late March or early April through the end of June, with various herbicide and insecticide applications. July and August are peak spray times, when 75 percent of the business's acres are covered. Operations continue through September and October with cover crop seeding. Fall pasture spraying ends the year in November and December.
Services provided are herbicide, insecticide, fungicide, cover crop seeding and dry fertilizer application.
Luke is a native of Superior and graduate of Superior High School in 2002. He married, Natalie, in 2006. Both attended Concordia University in Seward, graduating with bachelor of science degrees respectively. They moved back to Superior in 2007. Luke and Natalie have three children; Reagan (11 yrs.), Kylie (8 yrs.) and Jax (7 yrs.).
Superior 3000 Foundation's goals are to foster the growth of jobs, improve the quality and quantity of housing and to do any and all things that might result in a benefit to Superior's schools and residents.
The Entrepreneur of the Year Award was established in memory of Larry McCord, an outstanding businessman, sportsman and one who loved his family and his hometown of Superior.
