The Wenger Group recently announce some key management structure changes which it believes will benefit customers by improving speed and quality of execution, accelerating the company’s growth.
According to the company, its board of directors have been evaluating what succession planning actions should be taken to prepare for the eventual retirement of President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Phil Rohrbaugh. Based on that review and assessment, a plan has been developed.
Phil Rohrbaugh will continue to lead our organization as the CEO for next several years, but his focus will shift more toward ensuring the long-term sustainability of the company and less on day-to-day operations. Accordingly, his focus will be around the execution of the company’s strategy, driving and developing revenue opportunities and growth, acquisitions, and business development, and continuing to strengthen our corporate governance.
Kyle Henninger got an unwelcome surprise last fall when he sent three loads of corn to the mill.
His go-to buyer rejected the grain because it tested too high for aflatoxin â a fungal byproduct that the Lehigh Valley farmer had never faced before.
âThe corn looked as good as the other corn looked,â he said.
Henninger was far from the only Pennsylvania corn grower to deal with aflatoxin in the 2020 crop.
The aspergillus fungus that produces the toxin prefers hot, dry conditions, which prevailed last summer, especially in the central and western parts of the state.
âWe really often just hear of one grower here, another grower here who thinks they might have aflatoxin in any given year,â said Alyssa Collins, a Penn State field crop pathologist. âI think it was kind of unusual that we had a good deal of it this year, and that is almost certainly related to the fact that we had droughty conditions.â
