The Minnesota Corn Research & Promotion Council (MCR&PC), the 11-member body responsible for management of the Minnesota corn check-off, is excited to announce the results of its 2022 elections.
For the first time, Redwood County farmer Jordan Goblish will join the council. Goblish, who farms corn and soybeans in Vesta, was elected in district 7, which covers southwestern Minnesota. “I’m very excited to join the Minnesota Corn Research & Promotion Council and look forward to working on behalf of the state’s corn farmers,” he said.
Meanwhile, Chad Willis was re-elected to represent Districts 3, 5 and 6, which includes most of central Minnesota, and Gary Prescher was re-elected in District 8, which covers south-central Minnesota. Willis, an MCR&PC member since 2007, farms near Willmar with his wife, Krista. In 2021-22, he has been serving as chairman of the U.S. Grains Council.
Prescher, who farms in Delavan, has been serving as MCR&PC treasurer in 2021-22. He said he appreciates the opportunity to serve as a representative of the corn growers in south-central Minnesota. He also thanks the Minnesota Corn staff, fellow board members and everyone who has supported him in his journey with the council.
Each year, the MCR&PC invests check-off funds in efforts to promote opportunities for corn farmers while building connections with the non-farming public. To learn more, visit mncorn.org.
