Mike Bosch is a longstanding member of MSGA. He joined the organization about 15 years ago and has been chair of the Chippewa County Corn and Soybean Growers ever since. Bosch credits his dad, a past board member, for getting him involved at the local level.  

As a member of MSGA, Bosch earns several benefits, including Cabela’s discounts and access to MSGA’s legislative updates, which are held Friday mornings during the legislative session and are hosted by MSGA’s lobbying team and Executive Director Joe Smentek. Most of all, Bosch’s membership is helping to uplift his fellow farmers and community on the path toward improving farmer profitability.

“I just always thought (MSGA) was a good group to be part of and help support the industry,” Bosch said. “I definitely think the work they do helps the soybean prices.” 

Currently, Bosch farms with his father and brother in Chippewa County on about 3,000 acres of soybeans, corn and sugarbeets. Up until this spring, he worked full time at the local co-op as an agronomist. While he’s had land of his own to farm since 2000, Bosch decided to take the leap and start full-time farming just this year.  

Bosch is also active on the Chippewa County Extension Committee, Hawk Creek Watershed Committee and has been a part of the Clara City Ambulance Team for 17 years. His kids are active in both 4-H and FFA.
