The Exuberant Accountant - Scott Heintzelman

In business since 1944 and incorporated 4 years later, Wenger's Feed Mill, Inc. has grown to become one of the most comprehensive Agricultural Feed and Service companies on the East Coast. Wenger's customers provide eggs, poultry, and pork food products to the Mid-Atlantic region, an area that comprises more than 25% of the U.S. population.

Wenger's Mission is to provide quality feed for quality food.

As Jim Adams, the company’s president describes, “We focus on several initiatives to keep our company growing and performing:

1. Stewardship Initiative: We will continue to manage our lives and assets with the proper regard to the rights and needs of others.  This includes dedication to the environment in which we live and work.

2. Learning Initiative: We will continue to promote and expand our learning opportunities as individuals and as an organization.

3. Quality Initiative: We will continue to embrace quality in all that we do.

4. Relationship Initiative: We will continue to maintain professional relationships with our employees, customers, vendors, and the community.

5. Financial Initiative: We will continue to be a company that is financially sound.

6. Innovation Initiative: We will continue to thrive on interaction, information, and the power of teams.

We acknowledge the solid foundation on which these initiatives are built.  This is our commitment to present and future generations.”

Any company that bases itself on these solid principles has laid the groundwork for long term success, even through lean economic times.  And no industry is more susceptible to market fluctuations than agriculture.  Through boom times and hard years, Wengers has grown and prospered because they know that they are not just in the feed business, but also in the personal relationship business with their coworkers, local farmers, suppliers, and community colleagues.   

This is an organization that “Gets It.”
