County FSA committee elections are underway

Posted: Sun, Nov 11, 2012 7:22 PM

Not every election has ended.

Farm Service Agency Winneshiek County Executive Director Julie Vulk is reminding eligible voters that the county committee elections are in progress and completed ballots must be returned by mail or delivered to the Winneshiek County FSA office by December 3rd.

"County committee members play a huge role in the Agency, especially at the county level, where committee members make decisions on how federal farm programs will be administered locally," Vulk said.

Voters in Local Administrative Area #3, representing Glenwood, Decorah, Military Bloomfield, Frankville and Springfield townships received ballots for this year's election and will be voting to elect a representative from this area.  Candidates on the ballot include Margaret Elsbernd, who has served one term on the committee and two years as a minority advisor; Dennis Blumhagen, who is a former committee person; and Mark Steffens, who has not previously served on the committee.

If you did not receive a ballot and are eligible to vote, contact the Winneshiek County FSA for a replacement ballot.
