Servi-Tech, the largest agronomic firm in the U.S., announces the appointment of Greg Ruehle as its new president and CEO. Ruehle will begin his position in mid-January after the retirement of Mitch Counce, who has served as president and CEO since 1992.
“I am thrilled to be joining Servi-Tech—a company that I believe is uniquely positioned to provide leadership to agriculture now and into the future,” Ruehle said. “As an expert in agronomy, lab analyses and precision agriculture, Servi-Tech fills a growing need for unbiased data and advice.”
Ruehle was raised on a diversified, family-owned grain and livestock farm in northwestern Iowa and still provides management oversight today on behalf of the family. He is a graduate of Texas Christian University's ranch management program and has a degree in animal science from Oklahoma State University.
Servi-Tech leadership welcomed Ruehle in a statement from the board of directors. “We are fortunate to have someone of Greg’s caliber carry on the outstanding leadership that Mitch Counce has provided since 1992,” read the statement.
