Robert Turek is a Senior Vice President of Feed who works with employees, customers, and other Senior Team leaders to fulfill the mission and vision of Central Valley Ag Cooperative. Robert believes the Cooperative system should provide value to all CVA members by promoting livestock feeding, grain consumption, grain production, manure utilization, and efficient usage of petroleum products for transportation and care of livestock. Robert has worked his entire career to improve financial returns for customers and in the cooperative business. He has promoted sustainable production systems to lower costs of business and improve bottom-line incomes for growers. He has also worked hard to enhance feed manufacturing systems and processes to enhance feed and service quality to offer more value to the livestock industry. Turek grew up on a family farm near Gibbon, Nebraska, where they raised corn, soybeans, alfalfa hay, milked cows, fed cattle, had a farrow to finish hog operation, had layer hens, sold eggs and cream, and raised broiler chickens. Due to his upbringing, he learned the importance of stewardship and sustainability of animals and land and works hard to promote these views. He believes that our farmers produce the highest quality food products globally, and he is proud and honored knowing CVA and our employees are a part of their success. Robert holds a BS Degree in Ag Economics from the University of Nebraska. _________________________________________________________________________________________ The CVA Feed division is committed to technology, quality, and customer service. Customer service begins and ends with our employees and in their ability to deliver superior service and quality products to members. Our commitment to excellence is further demonstrated by the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) certifications with 3rd part audits we submit to each year at our feed mills. We have specialty designations such as salmonella free, organic and No Antibiotics Ever at two of our feed and animal foods manufacturing sites. None of these accomplishments could be achieved without the use of advanced electronic data integration and seamless data communication with our customer base.
