Investing in growth: Meet our retail development leadership team

May 2025 

At Stine® Seed Company, we believe that strong partnerships are the foundation of our success. As our retail footprint continues to grow across the country, we’re taking bold steps to ensure our retail partners have the tools, training and support they need to thrive.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce the leadership team behind our newly structured retail development division — a strategic move that reflects our continued investment in the future of our retail network.

Meet the team driving retail growth:

  • Tony Pleggenkuhle — central director of retail development
  • Jeff Anderson — western director of retail development
  • Justin Oden — northern director of retail development
  • Brian Manahan — southern and eastern director of retail development

Each of these leaders brings deep experience in dealer development, agronomy collaboration and plot strategy — all focused on helping our retail partners succeed in today’s competitive ag environment.

“Our chosen retail partners have a track record of helping farmers improve every acre of corn or soybeans they plant. This aligns directly with Stine’s long-term objectives.”

Myron Stine, Stine Seed Company president

From recruiting top-tier dealers to managing impactful Stine product plots with key accounts, this team is focused on driving results across every region. They’ll also work closely with our agronomy team to lead training sessions that equip our retail partners with the knowledge and confidence to grow with Stine.

“Retail is a critical component of our business. This team reflects our commitment to supporting, educating and empowering our partners.”

Myron Stine, Stine Seed Company president

As more farmers seek local access to high-performance genetics and expert service, our retail development strategy ensures we’re ready to meet that demand — with personalized support and unmatched product innovation.
