Board
MWBC APPOINTEES
The Montana Wheat & Barley Committee is made up of seven board members appointed by the governor of Montana. These members must be actively involved in farming while they represent producers in seven districts across Montana. In addition to these seven voting directors, there are three non-voting members: Montana’s director of the State Department of Agriculture, Montana State University’s dean of the College of Agriculture, and a representative of the Montana grain trade.
Montana Governor Greg Gianforte
After 34 years in the private sector, Greg Gianforte was elected Montana’s 25th governor in November 2020.
Governor Gianforte’s experience as a businessman and entrepreneur guides his focus on expanding opportunities for Montanans. On a recent international visit to expand trade for Montana producers, he noted how important partnerships are.
“These new strategic partnerships among education, trade, and industry leaders will expand those opportunities even further, boosting growing industries in Montana,” he said. “Montana delivers – whether our superior grains and beef or world-class semiconductor machinery.”
Married since 1988, Greg and Susan Gianforte raised their four children in Bozeman.
