High Plains Journal Managers, Investors Purchase Company

Tue, 17 Feb 2015 14:46:30 CST

High Plains Journal Managers, Investors Purchase Company High Plains Journal, a weekly farm and ranch publication based in Dodge City has been purchased by six managers of High Plains Journal by partnering with the Brynavon Group that specializes in management buyouts of companies. Originally owned by McCormick Armstrong Co., Inc. of Wichita, Kansas, High Plains Journal has a long and colorful history of delivering farm and ranch news to High Plains and Midwest farmers and ranchers.


George Lemmon, Jr., who will serve as chairman of the board, said "Brynavon is pleased to help the management team of High Plains Journal acquire the company for which they work. Ownership transitions which allow the managers to share in the mission that they create are the ultimate goal of Brynavon's investment model - perfect alignment between investors and managers."


The manager investment group includes President and Publisher Tom Taylor, Vice President and CFO Lawrence Lampe, Editor Holly Martin, Sales Manager John Seatvet, Classified Advertising Manager Jeff Sibley and Circulation Manager Jeff Keeten. The team has a combined tenure of 142 years working for High Plains Journal.


"Many of us have spent nearly all of our careers working for the Journal. We believe in our publication, our co-workers, and clients. But most importantly, we believe in the farmers and ranchers who invite us into their home each and every week. They are the primary focus of what we do and why we do it," said Taylor.


Taylor stressed the company's continued commitment to the agriculture industry. "We realize partnerships are key to our continued growth as a company. Whether it is collaborating with clients to deliver special projects or supporting farmers through their industry organizations, we look forward to an exciting future."


Editor Holly Martin wrote about the group's commitment to the future in her column, "Our commitment" in the Feb. 16 issue of the Journal. Click here to read her column.
