Wisconsin’s corn growers have elected one new director and re-elected two directors to the industry’s market order board.
Elected in District 3, which covers multiple Counties including Door, Outagamie, Brown, Kewaunee, Calumet, Manitowoc, Fond du Lac, and Sheboygan Counties is Zachary Soltvedt of Seymour.
Re-elected in District 6 is Ryan Ripp of Dane and re-elected in District 5 is James Birchman of Fennimore.
All three directors will serve three-year terms.
The nine-member Wisconsin Corn Promotion Board (WCPB) is responsible for overseeing the collection and use of approximately $1.7 million in assessment fees paid by Wisconsin corn growers. The money supports the corn industry through research, market development, and consumer education.
