Meissner owns Norm-E-Lane, Inc., a 2,000-cow operation near Chili, Wis., with his brother David, son Josh, and nephew Jeremy. The farm has been in the Meissner family since 1950. He has been a DBA member for six years and began his term as president of the DBA board of directors in January 2008.
Newly elected to the board was dairy producer Jim Winn. Winn is a part-owner and manager of Cottonwood Dairy in South Wayne, Wis. He began farming in 1976 at the age of 19 and joined forces with his neighbors, Randy and Brian Larson in 1998. The team now milks 1,400 cows.
Also elected to the board was corporate member Jen Keuning, an environmental scientist at Conestoga-Rovers and Associates (CRA).
