Monango, North Dakota farmer Val Wagner is vice president of the North Dakota Farm Bureau. The Farm Bureau connection began before Val and her husband, Mark, were married with their involvement in the Young Farmer and Rancher Committee. They went on to serve on the American Farm Bureau Federation YF &R Committee. Val was also part of the AFBF Promotion and Education Committee. This involvement led to a face-to-face meeting with President Trump. “With Waters of the U.S., we were talking to the Trump administration about the Prairie Potholes and they didn’t understand the concept and how much of a difference it could make on a farm like mine.” Wagner wrote a letter to the White House to explain the issue which led to a personal meeting with President Trump. “It was a surreal experience, but it truly proves that you can make a difference no matter where you’re at.” Watch the YouTube interview.
