The Mid America CropLife Association selected Rodney Schmidt as its new executive director. Most recently, Schmidt was a national and regional strategic account manager for Bayer CropScience. Minnesota native Bonnie McCarvel was MACA’s executive director for nearly 29 years and announced her planned retirement earlier this fall. Previously, McCarvel was the executive director for the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association/Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council; legislative assistant for Minnesota Senator Dave Durenburger and farm director for KNUJ Radio.
