After over 40 years in the cooperative system, SVP of Operations Bryan Reichmuth has retired from Central Valley Ag (CVA). What started as an internship with Farmers Co-op in 1979, turned into a long, plentiful career.
Reichmuth began as an intern at Farmers Co-op Humphrey in the summers of both 1979 and 1980, and in 1981 was hired full-time in operations at Lindsay Co-op. In 1982 He took on the new challenge of Controller/Office Manager at the Farmers Co-op in Humphrey. Twelve years later, at the age of 33, he was promoted to general manager of the Humphrey Co-op. Reichmuth held this position until he initiated the vision of merger. In 2003, Humphrey Co-op merged into Central Farmers Co-op. This paved the way for the many mergers to come throughout his career. Including a merger nine months later with TriValley Co-op and Agland Co-op to become Central Valley Ag.
After this three-way merger, Reichmuth earned the title of VP of Grain at CVA. After seven years in that position, he was promoted to SVP of Grain and Feed Processing located in O’Neill. In 2014 after CVA merged with United Farmers Co-op, he was named SVP of Operations in York. and has held that title for the last eight years.
