The Minnesota Corn Growers Association (MCGA) board of directors elected Les Anderson as its president for 2019-2020. His term began on Oct. 1.

Anderson farms corn and soybeans in Cannon Falls. He was first elected to the MCGA board in 2012, and has previously served as vice president and treasurer. Anderson is also a member of the National Corn Growers Association Market Access Action Team, where he works with corn growers from around the country to build export markets. He is married to his wife, Jeanne, and has three daughters.

“As president of MCGA, I am honored to represent Minnesota’s 24,000 corn growers as we work to build a more sustainable future on the farm,” Anderson said. “I look forward to advocating on their behalf to address the challenges we see today, while continuing to promote the opportunities ahead.”

Anderson’s term will run through Sept. 30.
