Josh Meissner, a dairy farmer in central Wisconsin, will serve an interim term on the Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative board of directors.
Meissner was appointed to serve in a vacancy left by his father, Jerry, who passed away in December.
Meissner’s term will be up in 2023.
Meissner and his family own and operate Norm-E-Lane Farm in Chili. His grandparents started the farm in the late 1940s, and it has grown with each subsequent generation, including in 2000 when Josh returned to the family farm after graduating college with a degree in business management.
Today, they milk about 2,500 Holstein cows and raise another 2,000 cows and heifers, while operating 5,000 acres of cropland for feed.
Meissner is also involved in many community organizations and events, including coaching football.
“I am excited and honored to accept my spot on the Edge board of directors,” says Meissner. “I look forward to being a part of this organization, furthering the voice for milk and making an impact on our great dairy industry.”
