Brian Legried is senior vice president for AgDirect, where his leadership focuses on sales, profitability, growth, partner relationships and processing.

Having served in multiple roles in 21 years in the Farm Credit System, the north-central Iowa native brings expertise and experience in credit, operations/sales management and leasing to his current position. As President of CHS Capital earlier in his career, Legried directed the formation of an agribusiness financing company from three predecessor organizations and successfully rebranded and repositioned the company for success.

Working as part of a team that focuses so sharply on its customers is a big reason why Legried, who has a bachelor’s degree in finance from Iowa State University and MBA from the University of Minnesota, returned to become AgDirect senior vice president in 2017.
