PLAINJAN - Key Persons

Job Titles:

• Founder and President of Plain

Jan Huck is the founder and President of PlainJan's, located in Scott City, KS. Founded in 1987, we are a women-owned-and-steered corporation. Now in our 34th year, we are the nation's largest commercial livestock pest management company serving many of the world's largest feed yards and dairies. Jan and her crew travel five High Plains states, providing rat and mouse, weed, and fly control programs. PlainJan's is also known for those "famous" custom-printed chore gloves. Our staff has created three fully automated, one-of-a-kind print systems for these popular stretchy, hard-working gloves. PlainJan's has glove customers in all 50 states and now in Canada. Many of the world's largest agribusinesses and even hundreds of small cow and calf operators buy these hardy gloves with their company or product logos screen printed on them. Jan is quick to point out, "we have gloves just to fit women too!" For the last few years, PlainJan's day-to-day operations have been managed by yet another woman, Ali Huck Cline, Jan's daughter. Ali is a married 40-year-old mother of three who wears "many hats" in PlainJan's diverse enterprises. She leads a team of 10 state-certified applicators, providing the best pest management services. Ali attends cattle industry and farm and commodity trade shows throughout North America. She is also a part-owner and manager of PlainJan's 55+ rental properties, 35 storage units, and 5 Rent-A-Shop buildings. Ali's personal work experience began with PlainJan's at age 10. She was in charge of bagging parasite wasps used in fly control. By the age of 14, she was working daily in the feed yards, dispersing wasps throughout the pens, in charge of truck washing on weekends, and tagged, counted, and packed printed shirts, caps, and gloves in the winter after school. College and several jobs in Missouri and Texas provided Ali with good work experience before returning to western Kansas in 2005 to become a part of her family's many businesses. Add a husband, a son-in-law, and a brother-in-law into the mix, and PlainJan's has become a family-owned business. Jan's husband joined the PlainJan's team in 1992. Jan Huck, President of PlainJan's, also sits on the board of WKCAC.
