The Minnesota Corn Growers Association joins the rest of our state and nation in mourning the loss of Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Speaker Hortman was a passionate and dedicated leader, one who was fair, open minded, determined, and gracious with her time. She was a great supporter of farm families and will be missed tremendously. MCGA sends our thoughts and prayers to Speaker Hortman’s family during this unimaginable time. We also send our prayers to Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, and wish them a speedy recovery. We pray that all Minnesotans can find peace and healing in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
