Oxbo Announces Retirement of Hay & Forage President Craig Harthoorn

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.
