Farm News: Wagner's Named Distinguished Service WinnerscommentsPosted: 12.06.2011
Manitowoc County dairy farmers, Kennard and Marie Wagner, have received the highest award the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation bestows upon its members.
The Wagners were presented the ‘Distinguished Service to Farm Bureau Award’ at the WFBF Annual Meeting on December 4 for providing exceptional leadership and support to Farm Bureau’s efforts.
“I have been honored to serve with Ken on the state board of directors and with Marie when she served as chair of the state Women’s Committee,” said Bill Bruins, WFBF President. “The Wagners have both served the Wisconsin Farm Bureau and have supported each other in their years of service. I have valued their council as we have worked together to make this organization what it is today.”
Kennard was named the Manitowoc County Farm Bureau’s ‘Outstanding Boy’ in 1973, before serving as his county Farm Bureau’s young farmer chairman, vice president and president. He also chaired the WFBF’s statewide Young Farmer Committee in 1987.
The following year, Kennard was elected to represent eastern Wisconsin’s District 6 as director on the WFBF and Rural Mutual Insurance boards, where he served until 2003. During his years of service he was a voting delegate on the county, state and national levels, in addition to serving on committees of the American Farm Bureau.
In addition to serving on the WFBF’s Young Farmer Committee with Kennard, Marie Wagner was also a member of the state Women’s Committee. She also has been a state voting delegate, and Secretary-Treasurer and Women’s Committee Chair for Manitowoc County Farm Bureau.
Together, the Wagners milk 150 Holstein cows and farm 420 acres of alfalfa, corn and soybeans on the family farm they purchased near Manitowoc in 1981.
Married since 1975, the Wagners have four children (Shannon, Charlie, Rebecca and Jacob) and six grandchildren (Dakota, Delany, Madeline, Jonathan, Isabella and Mason).
Kennard has served on the Wisconsin Equity Livestock Board and as a delegate for CRI and Land ’O Lakes. Marie has been employed at Community Credit Union as Assistant Branch Manager for the past seven years.
