The following leaders were reelected to the CHS Board of Directors:

• Alan Holm, who raises corn, soybeans, sweet corn, peas and alfalfa with his family near Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, and represents Region 1 (Minnesota).

• Kevin Throener, who raises crops and operates a cow-calf operation with his family near Cogswell, North Dakota. He represents Region 3 (North Dakota).

• Mark Farrell, who operates a family corn and soybean farm near Cross Plains, Wisconsin, and represents Region 5 (Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin).

• Jerrad Stroh who produces corn and soybeans on his family farm near Juniata, Nebraska, and represents Region 8 (Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas).
