EP 228: CEO Transition, Leadership Advice, & Best Farm Tasks

Very special and returning guests Harold Cooper and Ben Hoene join hosts Jeff Jarrett and Sal Sama for today’s episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Having served Premier for decades and as its current CEO, Harold is looking forward to retirement. Ben has worked alongside Harold for 20 years and is the current Vice President of Energy and incoming CEO. They join us today to discuss the plan for transitioning leadership in light of Harold’s upcoming retirement.

Jeff, Sal, Ben, and Harold will discuss how Premier will continue to look to advance and protect the interest of the farmer while maintaining the mission and values Premier has had for decades. From skid loader operator to sales and C-store manager, you’ll learn about the variety of careers Ben has had with Premier over the years. “I’ve just always appreciated this employee group that I’ve felt I’ve been able to work alongside… that genuinely cares about the job they do and genuinely cares about each other.”
