MCGA Leadership Renewed at Expo

By Scout Nelson

Last week, the Minnesota Corn Growers Association (MCGA) held a significant election during the MN Ag Expo in Mankato, introducing six new members to its Board of Directors. This election marked a pivotal moment for the association as it continues to drive forward in its efforts to support and innovate within the agricultural sector.

The newly elected directors bring a diverse array of experiences and a shared commitment to the advancement of corn growing in Minnesota.

Three of the members were re-elected, affirming their ongoing contributions to the board, while three newcomers were welcomed, each bringing fresh perspectives and ideas to the table.

This election is part of the MCGA’s ongoing mission to enhance leadership within the farming community and ensure that growers have a strong voice in legislative and commercial arenas. The directors' roles are critical as they help steer the organization towards effective advocacy, research, and educational endeavors that benefit corn growers statewide.

During the MN Ag Expo, the association also took the opportunity to honor several individuals for their outstanding service and contributions to agriculture. Among the accolades awarded were the Gavel Award for exemplary leadership, the Friend of Agriculture Award for significant non-member contributions, and the Golden Kernel Award for long-standing commitment to the association.

The MCGA’s board elections and the recognition of distinguished leaders underscore the association's commitment to fostering leadership and recognition within the agricultural community.

As these new and returning directors assume their roles, they carry forward the responsibility of advocating for sustainable agricultural practices and promoting the interests of corn growers across Minnesota.
