Luke Daninger of Washington County represented the Minnesota Farm Bureau in the Young Farmers and Ranchers Excellence in Agriculture competition. Contestants are judged on their involvement in Farm Bureau and agriculture. Daninger is a dairy farmer and an agronomy manager for a local co-op. His focus for the competition is on agricultural literacy. “We’re in a metro area; there’s houses less than a mile away from us and within 25 miles, there’s three million people.” Daninger opens his farm to the general public regularly. “It’s good for agriculture in general, but it is also good for our business for people to understand where milk comes from because we are vertically integrated and want to inform people.”
