Traverse County farmer Gregg Muehler is excited to become a member of the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association (MSGA).

With years of experience as an agronomist and holding leadership positions in various companies, he welcomes the chance to lead the family farm, specializing in corn and soybeans.

Gregg farms with his dad, Jeff. He attended North Dakota State College of Science and North Dakota State University and obtained a degree in crop and weed science and plant protection.

“Right now, I am living in Moorhead,” Muehler said, “but the farm is in Wheaton, and I am looking to relocating there soon, hopefully because my dad is retiring in the near future.”

Before farming full time, Muehler worked for Syngenta in various roles, including district manager. He also worked for J.R Simplot Company as a region manager in the Northern Plains.

Muehler is grateful for his chance to participate in the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) Leadership Academy, with an emphasis on leadership training and key agricultural issues.  During the program, he participated in a advocacy visit to Washington, D.C.

Although he’s not currently serving on a board, Muehler hopes to become more involved with MSGA. During the 2024 legislative session, he stayed engaged participating in MSGA’s legislative calls, which are held exclusively for active members each Friday when the Legislature is in session.

“We don’t have enough people speaking for us,” he said. “I plan to be involved because it is very important to make sure that we have the right legislation being voted on and the forefront to pass it.”
