We’re so proud to congratulate and thank Mike Compton for his amazing 48 years with TFP Nutrition. Mike started back in April 1977—just 16 years old, and with the Nacogdoches County Judge’s approval, he began loading feed at the Farm and Home Center. While studying at Stephen F. Austin State University, he worked part-time at our pet food plant, then stepped up as our Quality Control Lab Supervisor after graduating. His dedication and sharp eye for quality soon earned him the role of Quality Manager and eventually Vice President of Operations, Nutrition & Food Safety where he left a real mark on the company.
Mike’s knowledge of both animal and pet nutrition is truly one-of-a-kind—we honestly don’t know anyone else with his kind of expertise across both fields. We’re deeply thankful for Mike’s decades of hard work and wish him nothing but the best in his retirement.
