For nearly 40 years, Charles and Judy have brought their farming experience to help people develop their own Conklin businesses. The Herbsters were Conklin Managers from 1976 to 1991.  In 1992, they purchased the company from the Conklin family, dedicating themselves to making a difference in people’s lives with Conklin’s proven products and business opportunities.  Judy is the Conklin Company President and Chief Operating Officer, and Charles is the Owner and Chief Executive Officer.  He remains deeply rooted in agriculture and continues to be actively involved in the development and testing of Conklin agricultural  products.  The AgroVantage System is an essential part of his crop management program for corn, soybeans, wheat and dairy-quality alfalfa hay. He is passionate about sharing his experiences with growers nationwide about how they, too, can increase yields and profits of their farming operations. Charles speaks from experience about Conklin products and understands the needs and challenges of today’s farmers.  He is committed to helping keep the American farmer in business and profitable.  The Herbster’s active involvement in farming makes Conklin one of the few farmer-owned companies manufacturing and supplying products to the agricultural industry.
