South Dakota processor Jon Frohling elected AAMP president
Jon Frohling, owner of Frohling Meats Inc., Hecla, SD, was recently elected President of the American Association of Meat Processors at the 72nd American Convention of Meat Processors and Suppliers’ Exhibition in Reno, Nevada. Frohling worked his way through the AAMP Board chairs, serving as the Association’s 1st Vice President and Treasurer before he took charge of his presidential duties on June 18, 2011.
Prior to opening Frohling Meats Inc., Frohling was a Grocery Store Manager from 1990 to 1997. Jon and his wife, Stephanie, have now operated Frohling Meats for more than 12 years. The meat trade is in Jon’s genes as his father was a butcher, so it was only natural that he should continue in the family tradition. They manage two stores -- one in Hecla and the other in Aberdeen, as well as a catering business.
