The Canadian Forage and Grasslands Association has hired a new executive director.
Cedric MacLeod of Fredericton, N.B., has been hired as the new executive director to take over the role vacated by Ron Pidskalny in December.
“We look forward to his leadership as we promote the forage and grassland industry and address the challenges and opportunities going forward,” said forage association director Doug Wray.
MacLeod received his degree in agriculture from Nova Scotia Agriculture College and his masters in soil science from the University of Manitoba with a focus on Canadian prairie agricultural production systems.
He was president of MacLeod Agronomics, an agriculture consulting company specializing in the integration of sustainable agriculture practices. He also owns and operates Local Valley Beef, a grass-fed ranch in New Brunswick.
He served on the Canadian and New Brunswick Young Farmers’ Forum. He will begin his new job in June.
