Kristin Duncanson of Highland Farms at Mapleton, Minnesota is our guest for the Agricult-HER series. Kristin began her career on the staff of Minnesota Senator Rudy Boschwitz. She went onto become the first female outside salesperson for Hubbard Feeds. Kristin is the first woman to serve as president of the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association and the first woman to chair the Minnesota AgriGrowth Council. “I am so grateful for that time, but it was not without its challenges. My husband will say that I had to work a bit harder because I was the first female, but there was always great support from my husband and kids with all those endeavors at the time. Our family looks fondly on those years.” Duncanson also talks about the importance of the people she’s worked with along the way and the value in giving back to the community.
