For more than thirty years, Ford West was the face of The Fertilizer Institute (TFI). His tireless advocacy for TFI, its members and the Nutrients For Life Foundation (NFLF) was unmatched, and serves as an inspiration today to all who served with him.

Under Ford’s leadership, TFI grew its retail membership and expanded its portfolio to include 4R Nutrient Stewardship, the Nutrients for Life Foundation and ResponsibleAg.

Ford’s dedication to the fertilizer industry was eclipsed only by his profound love for his family. We extend our deepest sympathy to his wife Cathy and his three children.

An announcement regarding TFI’s plan to memorialize Ford’s exceptional life and service to the industry will be forthcoming.  In the meantime, we want to hear your Ford West stories You can send them to FBWestremembrance@tfi.org. We will compile your submissions and send them to the West family.
