Keystone Cooperative announced Scott Logue as its next chief executive officer, succeeding Kevin Still, who is retiring Sept. 1 after 42 years leading the cooperative.
The selection follows a comprehensive search process led by Keystone’s board of directors in partnership with an external search firm. The board evaluated both internal and external candidates, assessing leadership experience, strategic vision and the ability to lead a cooperative of Keystone’s scale.
“This transition represents both continuity and opportunity for Keystone,” said Bill Peters, chairman of the board. “As we look ahead, the board has full confidence in Logue to carry forward Keystone’s cooperative strength while building on the values, relationships and farmer-first commitment that have defined the organization for generations.”
Logue brings more than 29 years of cooperative leadership experience. Raised on an Indiana farm and a graduate of the Ball State University Entrepreneurship Program, he served as CEO of Harvest Land Cooperative before becoming executive vice president following its merger with Keystone. He most recently served as chief operating officer, helping lead Keystone Cooperative’s nearly $3 billion, multi-state operation.
“It is an honor to step into this role and lead such a high-performing, fiscally strong and growth-oriented cooperative,” Logue said. “Keystone’s strength lies in its people, its membership and its deep commitment to the future of agriculture.”
Keystone Cooperative serves approximately 20,000 farmer-owners across Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. The cooperative operates 245 locations with nearly 2,000 employees across business divisions spanning energy, agronomy, grain, swine and animal nutrition.
Logue will be formally introduced at Keystone’s Co-op Classic on Aug. 20 at the cooperative’s Scircleville location in Frankfort, Indiana.
