When you want to make a change or better the community, a board position may be the way to go. Hillsboro, North Dakota farmer and agronomist Sarah Lovas currently serves on the State Board of Agricultural Research and Education. The board is responsible for budgeting and policy-making associated with the supervision of the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station. Lovas has this advice for those interested in serving on a board. “Speak up and don’t be shy. Sometimes I think women may or may not be the first people to be thought of when it comes to serving on boards,” said Lovas. “I am glad commodity groups are taking a more proactive stance at making sure everyone is included. Tell someone if you’re interested in serving and once you’re on the board, listen, learn and speak up.” This podcast series presented by AgCountry Farm Credit Services and Corteva Agriscience.
