Marshfield, Wisconsin, May 14, 2025 – Oxbo announces the retirement of Craig Harthoorn, Hay & Forage President, effective June 2, 2025. After years of dedicated service, Harthoorn is stepping down to begin a retirement plan he initiated at the start of the year. Harthoorn agreed to stay until mid-year to ensure a smooth leadership transition to a suitable interim leader and to maintain business continuity.
Harthoorn has had a long and impactful career in the agriculture industry, with decades of leadership experience prior to joining H&S Manufacturing Co. in 2017. At H&S, Craig was instrumental in driving growth and, with Chris Heikenen, played a key role in the acquisition in 2023. Since the acquisition, Craig has led the integration efforts and the establishment of Oxbo’s Hay & Forage division, including leading the team that has brought all Oxbo mergers to the single plant in Marshfield.
“We are deeply grateful for Craig's years of service and the lasting impact he has had on our business,” said Roel Zeevat, CEO. “We wish him all the best in this next chapter.”
