GreenStone Members Elect Directors to Serve Rural Communities and Agriculture

The members of GreenStone Farm Credit Services have elected four individuals to the cooperative’s board of directors, including three returning incumbents and one new board member: David McConnachie.

A farmer for 44 years, David and his family currently work approximately 1,000 acres of wheat, sugar beets and dry beans on their farm in Deckerville.  

“GreenStone holds a lot of farmer capital; I’d like to use my experience to help set direction and policy to ensure that farm capital is preserved for future generations for all of agriculture, large and small,” says David. “The GreenStone organization is big enough that it can influence policies, and I’d like to enhance the effort to promote rural communities, so they continue to be a great place to raise a family.”
