Farm Credit Mid-America announces the appointment of Brenda Paul to its Board of Directors. Paul will succeed John Kuegel, Jr., who was elected to the AgriBank Board of Directors earlier this year, requiring him to step down from his Farm Credit Mid-America director position. Paul was selected by Farm Credit Mid-America's Board of Directors to fill the vacant seat for the remainder of the unexpired term, which expires upon certification of the 2028 election results.
Paul brings extensive agricultural experience to the Board. She co-owns and manages Timberlawn Farm, a first-generation commercial beef cow-calf and stocker operation in Paris, Kentucky. The farm also grows forage crops and row crops and raises thoroughbred horses. She is also co-owner of Cattle Marketing Group Inc., a livestock dealership that markets cattle nationwide.
“We are pleased to welcome Paul to Farm Credit Mid-America’s Board of Directors,” said Todd Clark, chair of the Board. “Her hands-on experience in beef cattle production, farming, livestock marketing and equine agriculture gives her a strong understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing today’s farmers. Paul brings a practical, business-minded perspective and a deep commitment to agriculture that will strengthen our Board and the decisions we make in service of our customer-owners.”
Paul serves as a trustee of the Fish Family Trust, is a member of the advisory committee for the University of Kentucky Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and serves as a director of Southern States Clark Cooperative. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in agricultural economics from Purdue University and is a graduate of the Kentucky Agriculture Leadership Program and The Executive Program for Agricultural Producers (TEPAP), Units I and II.
“I am honored to join the Board and grateful for the opportunity to serve,” Paul said. “Agriculture has shaped my life and my family’s work, and I care deeply about the future of farming in our region. I look forward to working alongside fellow board members to support farmers, strengthen our cooperative and help ensure agriculture remains strong for the next generation.”
