Congratulations to Seena Glessing, Waverly, Minn., for being named the Princess Consultant for Midwest Dairy Association, with responsibilities in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. Glessing replaces Char Hovland, who retired from that role Jan. 1.
Glessing will manage the state dairy princess competitions and events, provide training and oversight for the three state princesses and help princesses develop skills to help consumers understand more about the value of dairy foods and the way they are produced.
Glessing has been an agriculture instructor for the past 10 years at Dassel-Cokato High School, where she built the FFA chapter from five to 87 members. She coached 18 teams to state championships with two of them winning national competitions. She is a graduate of South Dakota State University with a master’s degree from St. Mary’s University.
“I welcome this opportunity to continue my work as an agricultural advocate and use my passion for young people,” said Glessing. She was a finalist for Princess Kay of the Milky Way in 1999, representing Redwood County where she grew up on a family dairy farm.
She and her husband, Dan, operate a dairy farm with Dan’s family and the couple serves on the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee. The Glessings have three boys.
Glessing can be contacted regarding princess appearances and questions at 320-282-6337 or at seena.glessing@gmail.com.
