Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation re-elects vice president

Dan Glessing was re-elected to a two-year term as vice president of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation at the bureau's 98th annual meeting Nov. 18 in Bloomington.

“I am honored and humbled to serve as vice president,” Glessing said. “One of Farm Bureau’s greatest strengths is our grass-roots structure and policy development process which is well respected among our elected and appointed officials."

"We will continue to strengthen our relationships with our officials so they come to us when they have a question about agriculture," Glessing said. "Our Young Farmers and Ranchers and Promotion and Education programs will continue to engage consumers in conversations to increase the understanding of today’s farming.”

Glessing and his wife, Seena, farm in partnership with his father. They have dairy cattle and grow alfalfa, corn and soybeans. Dan and Seena have three sons and one daughter.

Bob Roelofs from Garden City in Blue Earth County representing District II, and Fran Miron of Hugo in Washington-Ramsey County representing District V were re-elected to three-year board terms at the meeting.

Elected to the board of directors serving one-year terms were Promotion & Education Committee Chair Debra Durheim from Long Prairie in Todd County and Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee hair Pam Uhlenkamp from Green Isle in Sibley County.
