The leadership landscape in agriculture is changing this spring, with several moves recently announced. 

Last week, American Angus Association CEO Allen Moczygemba resigned. 

 

The association named Chris Stallo as interim CEO. Moczygemba, who has held the CEO role since December 2015, has publicly not announced a new position. 

Also last week, Farm Foundation President Constance Cullman announced her departure planned for June. 

Cullman will join the American Feed Industry Association as President and CEO in July. 

 

Meanwhile, the U.S. Grains Council just announced Ryan LeGrande, the Council’s current director in Mexico, will be its next President and CEO. 

LeGrande will replace Tom Sleight in June. Sleight announced in February he would retire after serving 25 years at the Grains Council, including his time as CEO since 2012. 

 

Also last week, Dairy Management, Inc. announced former deputy agriculture secretary Krysta Harden will join the organization. Harden will serve as executive vice president of global environmental strategy.
