Adam Guetter is a multigenerational family farmer from Redwood County and a proud member of the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association.
Growing up running machinery and being involved in his family’s farming operation sparked Guetter’s interest in agriculture. Fast forward several years, and Guetter can be found farming on the same land that his dad and uncles were raised on, growing soybeans and corn. Now, Adam and his wife, Melanie, are raising the next generation of farmers near Wabasso and giving them the same opportunity that he was afforded at a young age.
“Nothing brings more joy to my life than watching my children being raised on a farm in rural Minnesota,” said Guetter, a proud father of three children, Max (7), Marley (4) and Colt (1).
When he is not teaching his kids about trifoliate leaves on a soybean plant, Guetter actively leads in the soybean industry. After completing the American Soybean Association (ASA)’s Corteva Young Leader Program in 2018, Guetter decided to run for a position as a director with the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association (MSGA).
“The young leader program doesn’t just prepare you for a leadership role in a commodity organization like MSGA, it also prepares you for many situations that may arise in the farming operation,” Guetter said. “After my leadership program, I got to meet a few of the directors and learned about the work that is done behind the scenes to make the association and farmers better people.”
After securing his spot on the state board for a couple of years, an opportunity to become a director of ASA presented itself. Guetter jumped at the opportunity to lead and give direction, using his youthful viewpoint of the agriculture industry.
