        RECOGNIZING MINNESOTA FARM BUREAU PRESIDENT DAN GLESSING

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM EMMER

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 28, 2023

  Mr. EMMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dan Glessing, who 
was recently re-elected as President of the Minnesota Farm Bureau.
  Dan is a leader in the agriculture community. Since he was first 
elected in November 2021, Dan has been a steadfast advocate for 
Minnesota farmers and ranchers and has a deep understanding of the 
challenges and opportunities they face. Dan also serves as a member of 
the American Farm Bureau Federation Board of Directors, where he has 
brought national attention to Minnesota agriculture.
  Under Dan's leadership, the Minnesota Farm Bureau has grown in both 
strength and influence. He has built key partnerships between 
Minnesota's farmers, the Farm Bureau, and others including leaders in 
our nation's capital, to ensure that our state's producers have the 
resources they need to succeed. His input is invaluable, especially as 
we craft this year's farm bill.
  As a dairy and crop farmer in Wright County and a lifelong member of 
the Minnesota Farm Bureau, Dan and the Glessing family have been strong 
voices in support of our local producers and the future of agriculture 
in Minnesota. While Dan leads the farmers of today, his wife, Seena, is 
working to educate the next generation of agriculture producers as a 
teacher in the Howard Lake, Waverly, Winstead school district. After 
having the opportunity to visit the Glessing farm and meet Dan and 
Seena, I can confidently say that the Minnesota agriculture community 
is in excellent hands under their leadership.
  We are grateful for Dan's service to the Minnesota Farm Bureau and to 
agriculture producers across the state. I am confident that he will 
continue to be a strong voice for our farmers and ranchers for years to 
come.
