In Washington, D.C., Floyd Gaibler, the U.S. Grains Council’s longtime director of trade policy and biotechnology, passed away Jan. 21 following complications during surgery. Gaibler’s service to the agricultural sector was long and devoted, spanning more than 30 years in both the executive and legislative branches of the U.S. federal government and numerous positions in the private sector.
“Floyd was a good man who loved his work at the Council and in the agriculture community,” said USGC President and CEO Ryan LeGrand. “We are deeply saddened by his loss and grateful for the many contributions he made to our industry over a lifetime of work.”
