Chief Agri is pleased to announce a leadership transition within its U.S. sales team as longtime District Manager Brent Whitefoot retires after many years of dedicated service. Succeeding Brent is Rick Jennings, who joins the company as District Manager serving Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Wyoming.
Chief Agri extends its sincere appreciation to Brent for his commitment to the company, its dealers, and its customers throughout his career. His dedication and the relationships he built have made a lasting impact on the organization, and we wish him all the best in his retirement.
Rick brings nearly 20 years of experience in the grain storage and handling industry. His background in grain handling equipment, grain storage solutions, sales, and project estimating gives him a strong understanding of the challenges and opportunities customers face.
“Brent has been an important part of the Chief Agri team, and we’re grateful for the relationships he built throughout his career,” said Shad Singleton, Sales Manager – US & Canada at Chief Agri. “As Brent begins his retirement, we’re excited to welcome Rick to the team. His industry experience and customer-focused approach make him a great fit, and we’re confident he’ll provide outstanding support to our dealers and customers throughout his territory.”
Based in Omaha, Nebraska, Rick enjoys spending time with his son, three grown stepchildren, and four grandchildren. Outside of work, he enjoys golf, fishing, traveling, and cheering on his son and grandsons at their baseball games.
Chief Agri is excited to welcome Rick to the team and looks forward to the experience, relationships, and support he will bring to our dealers and the agricultural operations they serve.
