New NAWG officers

A Kansan is the new president of the National Association of Wheat Growers. Jerry McReynolds of Woodston has held numerous offices with NAWG and the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers. He succeeds Karl Scronce of Oregon who now becomes immediate past president. Also elected at the organization’s annual meeting at Commodity Classic last weekend:

• Wayne Hurst of Idaho, first vice president
• Erik Younggen of Minnesota, second vice president
• Bing Von Bergen of Montana, secretary-treasurer

 Typically, NAWG officers “run the chairs” starting with the secretary-treasurer position leading up to the presidency although the officers are interviews and recommended on an annual basis.
