Podcast: A thank you from Darrin Ihnen to Bob Dickey for his service to farmers

In this podcast, Darrin Ihnen, current president of the National Corn Growers Association and a farmer from South Dakota, takes time to thank Nebraskan Bob Dickey for his years of service to NCGA and to farmers. Dickey's term as chairman of NCGA comes to an end this week when Ihnen moves from president to chairman.

"It takes a special person to be so committed to serving for the good of fellow corn growers for so many years. On behalf of all of them, I thank you, Bob for your commitment and service," Ihnen said.

While Dickey is moving off the NCGA board this week, he will continue serving farmers through is position with the Nebraska Corn Board.

In addition to a message thanking Dickey, Ihnen also encouraged farmers to be safe during harvest.

"Whether driving on the roadways, working around a grain bin or handling an ATV, fall harvest and fieldwork are times to be doubly strict about safety rules. And that goes not only for us more experienced farmers, but for all the youngsters that enjoy helping us do our work," he said.
