Dan Glessing of Waverly (Wright County) was re-elected to serve a two-year term as president of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation Board of Directors during the organization’s annual meeting.

“It is an honor to serve the Farm Bureau members who make Minnesota’s agricultural community so strong,” said Glessing. “I appreciate their support and I look forward to continuing our shared work to strengthen agriculture, support rural communities, and champion the issues that matter to Minnesota farm families.”

Four new faces will join Glessing on the Board of Directors, with Joe Sullivan of Franklin (District 2) and Kevin Dahlman of Cokato (District 5) both elected to serve three-year terms. Serving one-year terms are Amanda Cook of Chisago County as the Promotion & Education Committee Chair and Megan Horsager of Chippewa County as the Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee Chair. 

“I’m glad to represent the members in southcentral Minnesota as the District 2 Director, and I look forward to a great term as we work on the issues facing agriculture and our members,” said Sullivan.

“I am excited yet humbled to serve as the District 5 Director, and to present the needs of our counties at the state level, to support and advance and share the story of agriculture,” said Dahlman.

“I’m passionate about ag advocacy as an agriculture instructor, and I can’t wait to work to work with the board to make an impact and achieve our promotion and education goals across Minnesota,” said Cook. 

“I’m excited to represent all of our young farmers and ranchers and their needs and issues as we look at policy and advocacy at the state level,” said Horsager.
