GreenPoint Ag's Halls, Tenn. Location Receives 2023 Business Innovation Award

Toby M. Hlavinka, president and CEO of American Plant Food (APF), was presented with the ARA Distinguished Service Award during the ARA Conference & Expo in front of more than 600 ag retail industry professionals.

On the heels of being formed as one of the largest cooperative ag retailers in the country, the business took a hard look at where it wanted to go and how it wanted to show up to farmers, and began marching forward.

The ARA staff awarded Twining because of his service as vice chair of the ARA public policy committee, his testimony before the House Agriculture Committee on the onerous Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) regulations, and more.

Nominated by his peers, Joe was selected from the pool of nominees by the ARA Executive Committee.
