Sioux Falls, S.D. (KELO.com) — The South Dakota Corn Growers Association (SDCGA) announces
the election of board leadership for the new year following today’s annual meeting.
Current board member Scott Stahl of Bridgewater will take the place of outgoing
President Doug Noem effective January 1, 2021
“By helping increase demand that leads to profitability, I’m honored to represent
the best part of South Dakota,” Stahl said. “I want to help sustain rural
communities and family farms across the entire state.”
Travis Strasser of Wilmot will take over as vice president and Dave Ellens of Madison
will begin his role as secretary treasurer.
“I’m excited to step into a leadership role with South Dakota Corn to help our state’s
corn farmers be more profitable and successful, because that’s why we’re all here,”
Ellens says.
Gary Duffy of Oldham was re-elected as member at-large. Additional new board
members joining the SDCGA include Travis Mockler of Centerville and Austin Hillestad
of Volga.
Hillestad said he looks forward to being involved on a board that’s dedicated to policy
issues. “Day-to-day uncertainty on what the government will do next is one of the
biggest challenges we face as corn farmers.”
