Farm Bureau Voting Delegates Re-elect Paap President

County voting delegates at the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation’s (MFBF) 101st Annual Meeting re-elected Kevin Paap to a two-year term as President of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation.

The election was held November 22 during the delegate session in Bloomington. Kevin and Julie Paap own and operate a fourth-generation family farm in Blue Earth County growing corn and soybeans with their son Andy and daughter-in-law, Samantha. “I am humbled and honored to continue to do something that I truly love to do and am passionate about doing,” said Paap.

“While agriculture faces many challenges, with every challenge there are opportunities. Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation will continue to be at the table in the public policy arena, build agriculture’s positive image and develop leaders at all levels.”

Re-elected to a three-year term to represent District II was Bob Roelofs of Garden City in Blue Earth County and Fran Miron from Hugo in Washington/Ramsey County representing District V. Elected to the board of directors serving one-year terms were Promotion & Education Committee chair Peter Bakken from Rock County and Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee chair Rachel Connell from Cass County.
