NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For winter maintenance professionals there is no shortage of options when it comes to fighting snow and ice.

That is why Cargill Deicing Technology is offering expert advice from their Principal Research Scientist, Dr. Scott Koefod.

"Our goal in this industry has always been to be more than just a salt supplier. We strive to be a total solutions provider," said AVP, Sales Manager Ken Howe.
