GreenPoint Ag Names New Chief Executive Officer
Jun 01, 2026
Leah Anderson, Chair of the GreenPoint Ag Board of Managers, announced May 21 that the board has selected Amy Winstead as the next Chief Executive Officer of GreenPoint Ag.
“Following a thorough and intentional search process, the board is confident Amy is the right leader to guide GreenPoint Ag into its next chapter,” said Anderson. “She brings a strong combination of operational leadership, strategic vision, and servant leadership that aligns exceptionally well with the mission and future of our company.”
GreenPoint Ag is a farmer-owned agricultural input supplier that serves the wholesale agronomy needs of cooperatives in Tennessee and Alabama, as well as farmers and rural communities across the Southern United States. Its services include crop nutrients, crop protection products, seed, professional products, and seed treatment, along with field scouting, soil and tissue sampling, custom application, and a full range of ag technology services through AccuField.
The company operates wholesale and retail agronomy locations in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, and Texas. Its parent companies include Tennessee Farmers Cooperative (TFC), Alabama Farmers Cooperative, WinField United, Tipton Farmers Cooperative, and Tri-County Farmers Association.
Winstead recently served as Senior Vice President of Retail for GreenPoint Ag, where she leads a $900 million-plus multi-location agribusiness operation serving growers across the Southeast. During her career, she has led major initiatives in operational optimization and digital innovation, while helping strengthen profitability and customer-focused service across the organization.
With more than 20 years of agricultural leadership experience, Winstead has served in leadership roles for both GreenPoint Ag and Agri-AFC. She also spent nearly a decade with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System and the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension, focused on precision agriculture, grower education, and agricultural technology advancement.
“Amy understands both the complexity of modern ag retail and the importance of relationships within the cooperative system,” Anderson said. “She has earned trust and credibility throughout our organization because she understands the business, values people, and remains closely connected to the growers and rural communities we serve.”
Amy serves on the Board of Directors for the Ag Retailers Association and the Ag Data Coalition and is recognized nationally for her expertise in precision agriculture and ag technology systems.
She earned both a Master of Science and Bachelor of Science in Agronomy and Soils, with a minor in Agribusiness, from Auburn University. Amy resides with her husband and children on their cattle farm in north Alabama, maintaining a close connection with the agricultural way of life.
“The board believes deeply in the future of GreenPoint Ag,” Anderson added. “We believe Amy’s integrity, humility, and passion for agriculture uniquely position her to lead this organization well for our employees, member cooperatives, customers, and communities.”
Chief Executive Officer Joey Caldwell of Tennessee Farmers Cooperative (TFC) congratulated Winstead on this “well-deserved opportunity and leadership responsibility.”
“On behalf of TFC, I want to express our excitement and support for Amy as she transitions into this role,” Caldwell said. “GreenPoint Ag is incredibly important to TFC, our member cooperatives, and the growers we collectively serve across the Southeast. I am confident Amy’s leadership will continue strengthening the organization and positioning it well for the future.”
