Today, Minnesota Corn recognizes farmer-leaders Bryan Biegler and Harold Wolle for their dedicated service on behalf of corn farmers. Bryan and Harold are retiring from the MCGA board this month after nine and 14 years, respectively.

Harold, who farms with his son, Matt, in Madelia, joined the MCGA board in 2012 and served as president in 2017. From 2018 to 2025, he was a member of the National Corn Growers Association Board of Directors, serving as president in 2024.

Both Bryan and Harold have been tremendous advocates for Minnesota’s farm families and agricultural economies. We appreciate their dedicated service on behalf of farmers and wish them the best in future endeavors.

Thank you, Bryan and Harold!
