The National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) announced the retirement of President Kendell Keith after more than 31 years service, including 25 years as its top executive staff officer.

“The industry is extremely fortunate to have had the benefit of Kendell’s strong leadership, vision, hard work and unswerving dedication for more than three decades,” said NGFA Chairman Hal Reed, chief operating officer for The Andersons Inc. in Maumee, Ohio. “Working with our Board of Directors and industry committees, he literally elevated the NGFA to the pre-eminent national leadership role on rail, commodity and futures market, agricultural, grain warehouse, and many other critical public policy areas.”

Randall (Randy) Gordon, a 33-year veteran of the NGFA’s staff who currently serves as vice president of communications and government relations, has been selected to serve as NGFA’s acting president.
