Barry Knight, President of JSI, adds, "G&H will fit ideally with the Sanders' culture and will help expand our retail footprint into South Louisiana."
"We are extremely happy to be a part of the Pinnacle strategy. Pinnacle gives us the resources to expand our footprint and dramatically improve our product and service offerings to our customers," notes Michael K. Hensgens, Business Manager of G&H Seed. "Our family has been committed to offering high quality agronomic goods and services to our customers since 1968. With this partnership we can continue that pledge in both agricultural inputs and technological services."
Wayne Hensgens, G&H Seed Operations Manager and President of Liq-Quick Fertilizer Co., notes that, "The Pinnacle merger not only allows us to expand our operations but it gave us the best opportunity to keep our management team, staff and philosophy in place.
