The Keystone Agricultural Producers board of directors has appointed Bill Campbell to the position of president, as per its by-laws. He replaces Dan Mazier who stepped down earlier this month to pursue a federal party nomination.
Campbell has served as KAP vice-president for the last year and a half, and previous to that was involved with KAP at the district level and on the board of directors.
Campbell is a fourth-generation farmer near Minto, with 2,640 acres – 1,700 of them seeded to annual crops. He also runs a purebred Limousin cattle operation.
“I accept the presidency with great enthusiasm, and look forward to engaging with our grassroots farmer membership, as well as with industry stakeholders and government,” Campbell said. “There is a lot for our organization to do. We need to look down the road five to 10 years to see where agriculture fits in the Canadian economy. At the same time, we need to look at shorter-term issues that are affecting our industry today.”
Justin Jenner, who has served as KAP vice-president in the past, will fill Campbell’s vacated position.
