U.S. Farmers and Rancher’s
Alliance board members have voted to not renew the contract of CEO Randy Krotz,
the organizations only CEO since its inception in 2014. Farm Journal’s AgWeb
reports USFRA's Board of Director's executive committee placed Krotz on
administrative leave January 5th, and the board voted not to renew his contract
on January 8th. In a statement, USFRA chairman Brad Greenway said: “We believe
it is in the best interests of USFRA to seek new leadership going forward.”
Greenway says a search for USFRA’s next CEO will begin immediately and that the
organization has developed a plan with its staff to manage the organization in
the interim. USFRA is composed of more than 100 farmer and rancher-led
organizations and ag partners representing agriculture. The organization claims
it is committed to helping increase confidence and trust in agriculture.
