Cultivating Unity | The Agriteer Merger Story (Part 1 of 3) (Podcast Episode 40)

In Episode 40 of The North Group Podcast, Roger North is joined by Craig Schloneger and Eugene Hurst, CEO of the newly formed company Agriteer. Agriteer was created from the merger of two leading agricultural equipment dealers in Lancaster County, MM Weaver and Binkley & Hurst, both founded in the 1930s. While they were once respectful competitors, their shared values brought them together in a successful merger. Eugene Hurst reflects on the journey of unifying the companies, sharing how the process taught him valuable lessons about trust, humility, and courage. The discussion highlights how Agriteer overcame two commonly held beliefs about mergers — that 50/50 partnerships cannot succeed, and that one company must always dominate. Through open conversations and strong governance, they navigated the tough decisions and challenges, ultimately building a unified company. The episode sheds light on everything from how the name "Agriteer" was chosen to how leadership roles were determined and emphasizes the power of trust and vulnerability in achieving a shared vision.
