Keystone Cooperative has announced a new leader as the organization prepares for a major leadership transition.
Scott Logue has been selected as the cooperative’s next Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Kevin Still, who will retire September 1 after a remarkable 42-year career with Keystone.
Logue says, “I think Kevin’s legacy really is our new foundation to step off from. And I think there’s tremendous opportunities ahead of us. We are a leader in the in the ag space and we will continue to grow and press into that opportunity for our 20,000 farmer owners.”
Company leaders say Logue’s selection supports Keystone’s long-term growth strategy as the cooperative continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of agriculture.
He continues, “I’m as excited about the opportunities in agriculture that I have been in my entire career, and I think we are positioned so well. We have a tremendous group of employees. And I think that Keystone has that attraction to the employee marketplace and there’s opportunities for people to grow in our company. And I’m looking forward to helping create new opportunities, not just for our employees, but really for our members.”
Logue steps into the role at a time when farmers are facing tight margins, changing markets, and rapid advances in technology. Cooperative leaders say they’re confident his leadership will help position Keystone for continued success while maintaining its commitment to serving member-owners.
“You know, I’ve been here for 29 years, so I’ve been part of the organization. To me it’s about the continuity. And just to allow our divisions to continue to do what they’re doing extremely well, grow and really service the farmer,” he added.
The leadership transition becomes official September 1, marking the end of one era and the beginning of another for one of the Midwest’s largest farmer-owned cooperatives.
Below is the full press release from Keystone Cooperative:
INDIANAPOLIS, IN — June 26, 2026 — Keystone Cooperative today announced the selection of Scott Logue as
the next Chief Executive Officer, a leadership transition that supports the organization’s continued evolution
and long-term growth strategy. Logue will succeed Kevin Still, who is retiring on September 1 after an
extraordinary 42-year career leading the cooperative and championing the success of family farms across the
region.
Keystone Cooperative is one of the nation’s largest and most diversified agricultural cooperatives, serving
approximately 20,000 farmer-owners across Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois. With 245 locations, nearly
2,000 employees, and core business divisions spanning energy, agronomy, grain, swine, and animal nutrition,
Keystone combines the strength and scale of a regional enterprise with the local relationships and cooperative
values that have supported farm families and rural communities for nearly a century.
The selection follows a rigorous and comprehensive search process led by Keystone’s Board of Directors. In
partnership with an external search firm, the Board evaluated a highly qualified pool of both internal and
external candidates, assessing leadership experience, strategic vision, and the ability to lead a cooperative of
Keystone’s scale, complexity, and future opportunity.
“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, advancing from frontline roles to
executive leadership within the cooperative system. Raised on an Indiana farm and a graduate of the Ball
State University Entrepreneurship Program, he served as CEO of Harvest Land Cooperative, now part of
Keystone, before becoming Executive Vice President following the merger. His experience spans all facets of
operations, most recently serving as Chief Operating Officer, where he helped lead Keystone Cooperative’s
nearly $3 billion, multi-state operation. His extensive governance experience, including leadership roles with
Land O’Lakes and service on national cooperative councils, further underscores his deep understanding of
cooperative strategy and farmer-member needs.
“Keystone’s future will be defined by our ability to grow with purpose, strengthen the long-term sustainability
of the cooperative, and continue evolving how we serve the market as a cooperative built for the future,”
said Jeremy Mills, Vice Chair of the Board. “The Board fully endorses Logue and is confident in his ability to
advance that vision while honoring the legacy and relationships that have made Keystone strong.”
Logue spoke to the opportunity ahead, noting, “It is an honor to step into this role and lead such a highperforming,
fiscally strong, and growth-oriented cooperative. Keystone’s strength lies in its people, its
membership, and its deep commitment to the future of agriculture. I look forward to working alongside
our team to continue driving innovation, supporting family farms, and ensuring long-term success for the
cooperative.”
A formal introduction of Logue will take place at Keystone’s Co-op Classic, a full-day event designed to give
farmers access to insights and trusted partners while allowing them to experience the Cooperative Advantage.
The Co-op Classic will be held Thursday, August 20, at Keystone’s Scircleville location, located at 16 S 1100 E,
Frankfort, Indiana. Logue will take the main stage at 8:15 a.m. Eastern Time. Learn more about Co-op Classic
