Meet a KSA Board Member: Michael Musselman, District 5

I am the newest member of the Kansas Soybean Association board of directors after officially being voted in at the March 2021 meeting. I took the fifth district director position serving the north central region of the state.

I received a call from a friend who serves on the Kansas Soybean Commission who informed me of the vacant seat in my district. I decided to fill the role because I believe that it is important to serve others, especially in groups that fill a need in the community.

I call Clifton, Kansas, home and have my farm there as well. My farm consists of soybeans, corn, wheat and cattle. I returned to farming in 1999 after serving as a county extension agent, an agronomist and then manager at an elevator.

My wife, Melanie and I have been married 27 years and have four children – Michaela, Luke and twins Lane and Levi.

In the community, I am active in the Knights of Columbus for SS. Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Clay Center and also serve on the Clay County fair board.

Your membership in the Kansas Soybean Association gives you a meaningful voice on critical state and national issues impacting your farm’s profitability. Our collective effort promotes and protects the interests of each Kansas soybean farmer and ensure your farm’s future in the soybean industry.

I believe that when a person invests in something, like an association, that person becomes more actively connected to what is happening and becomes more involved. KSA is a great investment and I would encourage my peers to become part of your work.
