Texas Farm Credit Leaders Honored with Prestigious “Lead the Pack” Bronze

The Texas A&M University-Kingsville Foundation and The King Ranch Institute for Ranch Management (KRIRM) recently recognized Texas Farm Credit’s unwavering commitment to the ranching industry by presenting the prestigious “Lead the Pack” bronze to three key leaders: Chief Executive Officer Mark Miller, Chief Lending Officer John O’Brien, and Chief Credit Officer Lane Pepper.

This esteemed honor highlights Texas Farm Credit’s ongoing sponsorship of the Certificate in Advanced Ranch Management, a program designed to equip ranchers and landowners with the knowledge and tools needed to succeed in today’s ever-changing ranching landscape.

The award was presented by KRIRM Executive Director Dr. Rick Machen and Associate Director of Development Anne Thurwalker, alongside Texas A&M University-Kingsville Foundation’s Senior Director of Gift Planning, Jeff McLain. Their recognition serves as a testament to the shared mission of supporting the ranching community and fostering its long-term success.

Texas Farm Credit is proud to partner with KRIRM and TAMUK to preserve and enhance the legacy of ranching, and we are deeply honored to receive this recognition. Thank you to everyone who has made this partnership a success!
