Their terms begin at the WFBF’s Annual Meeting, Dec. 4-6, in Wisconsin Dells.
Dolan is a member of the Iowa County Farm Bureau. He and his wife, Krista, are in a family dairy farm partnership and have one son. Ryan has a degree in agricultural business with an emphasis in commodity marketing from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.

She graduated with a major in agricultural education and a minor in animal science from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. In her free time she helps out on her family’s 150-cow dairy farm in Elk Mound.

The Young Farmer & Agriculturist Committee is made of nine couples or individuals (ages 18-35) from across the state. Their goal is to get more young farmers and agriculturists acquainted with and involved in Farm Bureau. They carry out a variety of statewide initiatives, such as conferences, contest and award programs.
“Farm Bureau thrives because it is made up of the best and brightest in agriculture. This new crop of emerging leaders is a great addition to the YFA Committee,” said Bill Bruins, Wisconsin Farm Bureau President.
