NDFB President Daryl Lies is not seeking reelection, and there are two candidates to fill the vacancy: Lucas Lang of Sterling and Val Wagner of Monango. Lang is a fourth-generation rancher who is a member of the NDFB state board. Lang said there are numerous policy issues facing North Dakota farmers and ranchers. “It’s the key issues for every farmer across the state, like trade deals. We’d like to see a little better prices for stuff and private property rights are always one of our key foundation cornerstones of our organization,” said Lang. “With all the projects and stuff going on throughout the state, it’s a balancing act moving into the future without crushing those that are making a living on the land and know best how to steward it.”
