Jason Gaeddert and his wife, Kristy, are involved in a diversified grain operation with his father, uncle and cousins. Jason was elected to the board of directors in May, 2007. Jason believes today's cooperatives must be competitive with other agri-businesses in providing the best products and services around. He sees the cooperative's role as a provider of agronomy products, fuel, fertilizers and other services necessary for farmers to successfully grow a crop. Key to a successful cooperative is the people associated with it. Having talented, knowledgeable staff is important, but for the co-op to be successful, it is also important to have the support of the patrons. He believes that the co-op is only as good as its employees and its patrons. Jason believes the board's role is to assist in guiding the direction of the company so that it is an even better cooperative in the future.
David Mills operates a diversified grain farm which is primarily dryland, and a cow/calf herd near Abilene. David was appointed to the board of directors as an associate board member in February, 2008 and now represents District 2. David believes the on-going consolidation in agriculture has had a big impact on ag producers. This same consolidation is happening with the suppliers of our inputs and buyers of our products which makes it even more important to have our cooperative organization. He believes members benefit by being able to build the co-op into an organization that provides all of the critical needs of the farm operation. Members also have the added bonus of sharing the profits at the end of the year. David believes that to further build MKC requires board members to guide and direct the cooperative to make sure it grows and changes to meet the ever-changing needs of the ag industry.
Keith Becker, Galva, was elected in 2005 to his first term on the board of directors representing District 2. Keith and his wife, Esther, primarily raise wheat with some milo production. He also does some custom farming and harvesting and is employed by Empire Township in McPherson County. His primary MKC location is Galva, with some grain hauled to Conway. Keith believes the cooperative system's strength in today's agricultural economy lies in the trust factor which comes from personal contact between local location employees and the customers. Having access to a country elevator is a tremendous advantage for the smaller farmer, he believes, and it is important that farmers support the country elevators to keep them viable. Efficient utilization of employees throughout the year is necessary in a business where much of the work is seasonal. He also believes that equipment maintenance should be a priority of the co-op. The role of a board member should be to listen and make wise decisions based on proper and accurate information, Keith believes. Board members should also allow managers to do their jobs while serving as a check to ensure the co-op's goals are being accomplished.
Duane operates a diversified dryland and irrigated farm and cow-calf operation located between Lindsborg and Marquette. He has served as chairman of the Farmers Union Elevator Board of Directors at Lindsborg. Most recently, Duane served on the MKC board from 2000-2009 and was re-elected in 2011. Duane believes the key issues facing MKC today are keeping the cooperative profitable and protecting the equity of all our members while meeting the challenge of upgrading grain handling facilities. Strategic planning for short and long-term goals is very important in order to adapt to change and new challenges that face the co-op. MKC serves a variety of producers, from small to very large. He believes we need a co-op that can meet the needs of all its patrons. Duane believes the primary responsibility of the board of directors is to hire the CEO, establish operating policies and set objectives for the co-op. He feels attending educational courses is an excellent source for directors to not only learn strategies that other organizations are implementing, but also to share ideas and gain insight from other co-op board members from around the country.
C.J. Blew and his wife, Beckie, of Castleton farm in a family partnership that includes irrigated corn and soybeans, dryland wheat, milo, and soybeans, and a commercial cow-calf operation. CJ was elected to his first term on the MKC Board of Directors in 2005 and served as chairman, vice chairman and secretary In 2010, CJ was elected to the CHS Board of Directors. He has served on the CHS Resolutions Committee and attended the CHS New Leader Institute. He serves on the Hutchinson Community College Ag Advisory Board, and is a member of the Kansas Livestock Association, Texas Cattle Feeder's Association and the Red Angus Association of America. CJ holds an applied science degree in farm and ranch management from Hutchinson Community College, and has recently achieved Board Governance Fellowship status from the National Association of Corporate Directors. CJ believes local cooperatives have an important role because they can offer the service and convenience that often isn't available from independent companies. However, that also means that today's cooperatives must be more competitive with independent companies than they may have been in the past to keep member business. To become more competitive, CJ believes it is important to eliminate inefficiencies between locations and take full advantage of recent mergers by viewing MKC as one company rather than each branch as a separate entity. Board members should serve as a listening body for the members and strive to have the right people in place to carry out the day-to-day management decisions, he believes.
Sara Hasty and her husband, Will, operate a diversified dryland crop operation with her father near Hesston. Sara also works with her father in a tax accounting business, specializing in agricultural businesses. Sara was appointed to an associate director position in April 2016. She believes the way the cooperative system shares profits with the members give the system a huge advantage over independent companies. Not only can the members benefit from the current year’s profits, but they can also be a part of helping fund further development of infrastructure and services that will help their operations to succeed in the future. She thinks it’s critical to continue a growth strategy with the future of all producer-members in mind. Sara believes the role of the directors is to represent the interest of all the members and help management evaluate the opportunities and risks the organization needs to take to best position the cooperative to serve current and future members.
Hal Mayer and his wife, Jill, operate a stocker operation near Alta Vista and raise corn, wheat and sorghum silage in Wabaunsee, Morris and Geary counties. Their primary MKC location is Alta Vista. Prior to merging with MKC, Mayer served on the board of directors for Farmers Cooperative Association for more than 20 years. Mayer believes in the cooperative system and the benefits it brings to patrons. While competition is stiff, he believes the future of the cooperative looks bright. In order to be successful, he says MKC must continue to grow to meet the needs of the patrons. He believes the board should provide oversight to ensure MKC and its patrons are profitable. In addition, he says the board is tasked with ensuring the co-op has safe, up-to-date facilities and hires the best employees.
Ben Schrag and his wife, Tina, are involved in a dryland wheat, corn and soybean operation near Canton. In addition to their cropland, they have a stocker cattle operation. Ben was appointed as an Associate Director in 2016 and will serve three years on the Board of Directors. He believes the largest challenge facing producers and co-ops is staying profitable in an always changing and tightening market along with balancing member equity and the expenses of a co-op such as new infrastructure and locations. Ben looks forward to serving on the board to learn more about the cooperative system and provide input in a business that directly impacts the local economy. He looks to help develop strategic plans along with forward thinking to help MKC succeed. Ben says what makes a local co-op important is the built-in advantages over independent companies such as allowing patrons to purchase inputs and market grain collectively. MKC serves as an important role in the rural economy by providing jobs and providing producers with a place to conduct business and deliver grain.

Prior to merging with MKC, John served as a board director for Plains Equity Exchange for more than 20 years. John is excited to serve as a director on the MKC Board after the merger of his local co-op. He says being part of a larger cooperative with talented, motivated and energetic personnel and the ability to use those talents over a wider area is what attracted him to MKC. He looks forward to utilizing the technology and organizational skills of MKC and seeing the value passed down to local patrons. John says technology and organizational strength were pieces of the business that were more difficult to afford and deliver as a smaller cooperative. He believes a director is selected from among the owners, so the interest and motives of directors must be most closely aligned with those of ownership. His role is to articulate the board expectations of the organization and the CEO.
