In 1994, Kenneth received Progressive Farmer's Man of the Year in Service to Mississippi Agriculture. He was named the National Cotton Ginner of the Year in 1997, and was recognized in 2000 as the Delta Council's Outstanding Conservation Farmer of the Year.
Pucheu noted that while serving as NCC chairman, Hood delivered the organization's message to House and Senate leaders before and during the 2002 farm bill conference committee. These efforts helped achieve a substantial moderation of the objectionable payment limit provisions in the conference committee's bill.

Dunavant, Jr., and Bill Lawson; textile manufacturer, Duke Kimbrell; association executives, Albert Russell, Earl Sears and B.F. Smith; Congressional members, Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) and Reps.
