Farm News: Nelson Joins WI Farm Bureau StaffcommentsPosted: 08.16.2010
 Sheri Nelson is the new Communications Coordinator for the WI Farm Bureau Federation. She began her new position on Monday!
“It is an honor to continue my passion for agriculture with the strong voice of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation. I am excited to help serve the Farm Bureau’s members and ensure their voices are heard,” Nelson said.
“Sheri’s agricultural background, strong organization and writing skills, and passion for educating others makes her uniquely qualified to help us deliver Farm Bureau’s message to members and consumers,” said Paul Zimmerman, Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s Executive Director of Public Affairs.
Nelson was raised on her family’s crop farm near East Troy in Walworth County. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison last December with a Bachelor of Science degree in life sciences communication.
She grew up showing hogs and poultry at the Walworth County Fair as a 4-H member. In 2007 she was selected as the Wisconsin State Fair’s 41st Fairest of the Fair. She also served as a vice president of the Wisconsin State FFA in 2005-06, and was a 2010 finalist for Alice in Dairyland.
Nelson previously worked for both the Food Export Association of the Midwest as its internship program coordinator, and for the National FFA organization, where she facilitated leadership workshops for middle and high school agricultural students across the nation. She also started her own non-profit called, WaterDrops of Hope, which raises funds to provide water in Third World nations through the sale of water bottles.
