Farmer-Leaders Elected to Iowa Corn Board
Iowa Ag Connection - 07/26/2016
Iowa Corn announced Monday the results of the Board of Directors elections for the Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA) and Iowa Corn Promotion Board (ICPB).
Those elected as ICGA Directors will continue to bring grassroots policy issues forward and be the collective voice for 8,000 corn farmer-members, lobbying on agricultural issues at the state and federal level. They include:
* For those re-elected
District 1 -- Dean Meyer, Lyon County *
District 3 -- Mark Mueller, Bremer County
Direct 6 -- Jim Greif, Linn County *
Since 1978, Iowa corn farmers have elected their peers to serve on the ICPB to oversee the investment of funds generated by the Iowa corn checkoff. ICPB Directors will continue to promote a thriving Iowa corn industry through research into new and
value-added corn uses, domestic and foreign market development and providing education about corn and corn products. These individuals include:
District 2 -- Tom Renner, Hancock County
District 5 -- Roger Zylstra, Jasper County *
District 7 -- Ralph Lents, Adair County
District 8 -- Gary Petersohn, Ringgold County
Both organizations are charged with creating opportunities for long-term Iowa corn grower profitability. Elected Directors will begin to serve on Sept. 1.
