We help food & agribusiness leaders de-risk M&A strategy and exceed their growth goals
Here's the cold, hard truth: mergers & acquisitions (M&A) in the food and agribusiness sectors are tough. M&A is viewed as an accelerant to growth — an express lane — but there is a downside. Once you get on the expressway, things move fast, and there are few off ramps. In fact, many M&A deals destroy more value than they create.
For most food and agribusiness executives performing M&A, integration is an afterthought. There are so many moving pieces in an integration, they don't know where to start:
A failed M&A integration sets the company back years. It creates performance and financial pressure that didn't exist before the deal, leaves leadership doubting themselves, and results in a business hesitant to drive bold and innovative strategy.
Don't wait another second. You owe it to your team, customers, suppliers, and community to ensure your M&A deal creates value with minimal disruption. Book your call now and we'll create an Integration Readiness Roadmap you can use to get started.

“Joe was right sized for us. He had the technical know-how, experience, and ag-based business acumen to get us where we needed to go.
He truly wanted to work with us, behaved like an extension of our team, was an exceptional communicator, and brought positivity to the hard work of integration. This is not just a job for Joe – he loves what he does. The process works. Joe set us up for success, held us accountable, and I would recommend him without hesitation.”
“Joe's approach was not just a success, but transformational for the organization.
His impact was apparent as various senior leaders reached out to him for informal counsel or direct support when struggling to drive strategy. With experience across a wide variety of company sizes, he has a unique talent to pragmatically bring big company practices to life in smaller entities. Throughout the project, Joe maintained a steady focus on delivering results and value above any personal agenda or benefit."
“Joe challenged us to look differently at our business and enabled us to build stronger conviction in the direction we needed to grow and capabilities we needed to develop.
While our project focused on driving improvements in our operational performance, Joe's impact was far greater and essential to successfully delivering on a strategic realignment of our operating model. His leadership was instrumental to a number of business imperatives including our process ownership strategy, rationalizing our asset footprint, and making structural changes to the organization.”
Founder & Principal Advisor
Hi, I’m Joe Mosher, founder of Mosher Consulting Group and The Integration Pacesetter. We help food and agribusiness companies scale their business, deliver profitable results, set their people up for future success, all while preserving the core and culture of what your business stands for.
For more than 15 years, we’ve been supporting food and agribusiness executives in executing their strategy and realizing their value from their M&A activities. We are hyper focused on the small to middle market food and agribusiness sector — it’s what we know and what we love.
We don’t just talk that talk, we walk the walk. We’ve spent the majority of our careers working within food and agribusiness companies — not as external advisors, but as business operators.
We’ve lead strategy execution from a variety of perspectives including:
Because we’ve been in the business, we know how hard it is to get strategy and M&A execution right. We’ve been through brutal harvests, major quality and inventory issues, supplier and customer disputes, plant closures, business turnarounds, and challenging acquisitions. We know how tough it is to manage the dual mandate of driving value creation through growth, while ensuring value preservation by defending the existing business.
Since we are seasoned business leaders — NOT career consultants — we speak from experience, not untested theories.
That’s why privately owned food and agribusiness executives trust Mosher Consulting Group to generate more profits, increase their bottom line, and change the growth trajectory of their business forever.
