Grower Directors Elected at Annual Meeting
Wisconsin Corn Grower Association members elected Jefferson County corn grower Steve Duwe and three incumbents to serve on their board of directors at the group’s annual meeting in the Wisconsin Dells last week. Duwe farms 1120 acres in the Johnson Creek area, using reduced tillage methods and he typically plants two-thirds of his acres to corn and one-third to soybeans. Along with Duwe, corn growers Jim Kruger, Westfield, and Crystal Romanowski, Stanley, were re-elected to three-year terms while Charlie Hampton, a Syngenta Crop Protection Representative from Cambridge, was re-elected to a 2-year affiliate director position. The WCGA annual meeting was held in conjunction with the annual Corn/Soy Expo at the Kalahari Conference Center in the Wisconsin Dells. This year’s annual Expo drew more than 1,100 growers and industry representatives for two days of educational and business meetings mixed with networking opportunities and family time.
