Michigan Corn Growers Association Elects New Board Members


By Andi Anderson

The Michigan Corn Growers Association (MCGA) announced the outcomes of its board of directors' elections on January 24 during the 2024 Annual Meeting held at the Great Lakes Crop Summit in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. The newly elected and re-elected board members are poised to contribute to the organization's mission of building a resilient future for Michigan's corn farmers.

Receiving re-election for their roles are:

  • Jay Parr (Brown City): Representing district 3.
  • Cade Klein (Marcellus): Representing district 6.
  • John Delmotte (Dundee): Representing district 8.

Joining the board as an at-large member is the newly elected:

  • Morgan Beattie (Marshall).

All board members are elected to serve three-year terms, and their commitment to the Michigan Corn Growers Association reflects a dedication to advancing the interests of corn farmers in the state.

Randy Poll, President of MCGA, expressed gratitude to the new and returning board members, acknowledging their willingness to dedicate time and talents towards strengthening the future of Michigan's corn industry.

The Annual Meeting also provided an opportunity to honor outgoing board member Russell Braun (Ovid) for his years of service and dedication to the organization. Poll extended appreciation for Braun's nine years of contributions to MCGA, highlighting his positive impact on growing Michigan's corn industry. Braun's service extended beyond the state level, including involvement with a National Corn Growers Association action team and serving as the Clinton County President.

To be elected to the MCGA board, individuals must be regular members in good standing, defined as those who derive a portion of their income from corn production and support the association's objectives. The newly elected and re-elected board members represent a diverse group of leaders committed to shaping a prosperous future for Michigan's corn farming community.
