MCGA welcomes new district field manager
The Minnesota Corn Growers Association (MCGA) has filled the staff position responsible for grassroots outreach to growers in 13 western and central Minnesota counties.
Devin Hoffarth has started as the new district field manager (DFM) for District 2, which runs from Minnesota’s western border to Stearns County in the east. Prior to MCGA, Hoffarth worked for seven years at Langdon Implement in Langdon, N.D., where he managed customer accounts, executed precision farming strategies, coordinated customer events and helped build partnerships with other organizations. Previously, Hoffarth had served for a year as the student member of the North Dakota University System State Board of Higher Education.
He started in the DFM position last month.
A native of Langdon, Hoffarth earned his bachelor’s degree from Mayville State University and his master’s degree in business administration with a project management concentration from the University of Mary.
He said he is excited to serve corn farmers in western and central Minnesota and looks forward to advancing the mission of MCGA.
“While I did not grow up around corn, I am intrigued by the endless possibilities corn offers, and I am excited to play a role in its advancement,” he said. “I am thrilled to be a part of MCGA and look forward to working with you.”
Since 2017, MCGA has employed five full-time DFMs to help with grassroots outreach and business-development efforts. DFMs travel their districts to empower farmers and county organizations with resources, information and support to be successful.
