Alicia Harstad and Dave Maasjo
VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Dave Maasjo began his career as a teacher, spending five years in the classroom before returning home to farm. He farmed for 40 years on his farm located about 15 miles southeast of Valley City.
Throughout his career, Dave has been and continues to be a strong advocate for North Dakota Agriculture. From 1991 to 1998 he served as the District 7 Director for North Dakota Farmers Union, where he traveled to Washington, D.C., to advocate for North Dakota Farmers on a number of key farm policy issues.
Maasjo served as president of the North Dakota Winter Show Foundation prior to becoming a member of the North Dakota Winter Show Board of Directors in 1997 serving through 2025. Dave has been a strong supporter of the North Dakota Crop Show, consistently attending planning meetings and providing guidance to support the continued success of the event. As a former 4-H and FFA member, Dave has enjoyed giving back by helping ensure the North Dakota Crop Show remains an event that actively engages 4-H and FFA youth.
Dave Maasjo was honored during a ceremony on Wednesday, March 4th in the North Dakota Winter Show Event Center.
