Dan Glessing, President of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation (MFBF), has been re-elected to the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) Board of Directors. The election took place during the AFBF Annual Convention in San Antonio, securing Glessing a two-year term as a representative for the Midwest region.
Glessing's re-election was decided by delegates from the Midwest, affirming his role on a board that integrates state presidents from various U.S. regions including the Midwest, Northeast, Southern, and Western.
This diverse board structure ensures a wide representation of agricultural issues and voices, crucial for addressing the challenges and opportunities within the farming and ranching sectors.
Expressing his gratitude for the re-election, Glessing remarked, “It’s an honor to be re-elected and can represent both Minnesota and Midwest agriculture on the national stage. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with my peers from across the country, providing a voice for our organization and its members.”
Joining Glessing on the AFBF Board from the Midwest are prominent figures such as Brent Johnson from Iowa, Randy Kron from Indiana, Ben LaCross from Michigan, Joe Newland from Kansas, and Brad Olson from Wisconsin.
Each member brings a wealth of experience and a commitment to advancing the interests of their respective states and the broader agricultural community.
Glessing's re-election is a testament to his leadership and dedication to both the Minnesota and national agricultural communities. His continued presence on the board is expected to enhance collaborative efforts and contribute significantly to the formulation of policies that support and promote sustainable agricultural practices across the United States.
