“I will miss working alongside Dr. Sills, as he has been a trusted advocate and supporter of our cooperative’s beliefs and values,” says Meade County President & CEO Marty Litrell. “His leadership, knowledge, and professionalism have been instrumental in strengthening our collaboration with colleagues in our industry. His commitment and guidance will leave a positive legacy that will benefit our cooperative for many years going forward.”
