Former Exec with agricultural giant Archer Daniels Midland named Southeastern Alumnus
of the Year
Craig Huss, a retired senior executive who worked with one of the nation's largest
agricultural firms, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), will be honored as the 2014 Alumnus
of the Year by the Southeastern Louisiana University Alumni Association.
Huss, who most recently served as senior vice president and chief risk officer
for ADM at the firm's headquarters in Decatur, Ill., is a double graduate of Southeastern,
earning a bachelor's degree in business administration in 1974 and an MBA two years
later. He will be formally recognized on Friday (Oct. 17) at the association's Alumni

Alumni Association Director Kathy Pittman said the award recognizes graduates
with unique accomplishments on a national or international level who continue to utilize
their degree from Southeastern to the fullest.
ADM employs approximately 31,000 people, connecting crops to markets in more
than 140 countries on six continents. Net sales for the company in 2013 were $90 billion.
Also to be recognized at the event is James "Jay" Prather III, a 2005 graduate
with a degree in biology, who was a founding partner of an environmental consulting
firm named Krebs, LaSalle, LeMieux Environmental. The Hammond-based company is now
ELOS Environmental and provides consulting services covering numerous sectors of the
environmental industry.
Huss came to Southeastern from Illinois on a basketball scholarship and earned
four-year letterman status. He served as a graduate assistant basketball coach in
1975-76 when he was earning his master of business administration degree.
Upon graduating, Huss spent several years managing grain elevators in Illinois
and St. Louis, building and remodeling elevators, handling barge freight and providing
grain to various regional poultry markets. Later he managed crude vegetable oil trading
for the company and a soy plant in Kansas City. In 1997 he was appointed vice president
for North American Processing, where he coordinated personnel and marketing for 18
soybean processing plants in the U.S. and Mexico.
In 1997 he was named corporate vice president for transportation, managing a
fleet of 25,000 railcars and a trailer truck fleet of 500. He was responsible for
managing the company's supply chain, overseeing ADM warehousing in the U.S. Later
he was named senior vice president for Ag services, where he was responsible for a
diversified portfolio of business units and 8,000 employees. The Grain Division is
the largest grain company in North America, operating over 300 elevator systems with
eight export houses.
In 2011 until his retirement, he was senior vice president, chief risk officer
and a member of ADM's Executive Committee, comprised of the five most senior executives
at AMD and responsible for the strategic planning for the entire company.
He served on the boards of Chiquita Brands International, Iowa Interstate Railroad,
Kalama Export Company, the National Grain and Feed Association and AC Toepfer International,
a German-based trading company with 37 offices around the world.
