Effective immediately, there are some new faces representing wheat, barley, flax, corn and sunflower farmers across Manitoba.
Manitoba Crop Alliance (MCA) is proud to introduce its 2026 board of directors, including two new members: Jeffrey Stobbe-Wiebe (Springstein, MB) and Korey Peters (Randolph, MB). Stobbe-Wiebe is a delegate on MCA’s wheat and barley crop committee and Peters is a delegate on the sunflower crop committee.
The new directors join nine returning directors on the board:
- Jonothan Hodson (Lenore, MB) – corn committee
- Sally Parsonage (Baldur, MB) – sunflower committee
- Doug Martin (East Selkirk, MB) – corn committee
- Leigh Smith (Oak Lake, MB) – flax committee
- Robert Misko (Roblin, MB) – wheat and barley committee
- Scott Mowbray (Cartwright, MB) – wheat and barley committee
- Nick Matheson (Stonewall, MB) – flax committee
- Carl Bangert (Beausejour, MB) – corn crop committee
- Carly Chatham (Killarney, MB) – wheat and barley committee
Each of the new directors was elected from their respective crop committee during meetings held in late January. Together, the new board will guide the organization’s direction, with the primary goal of maximizing farmer levy dollars by investing in meaningful, independent research, valuable knowledge and targeted advocacy.
“Jeffrey and Korey each bring unique experiences and perspectives to the table, and I’m confident they will both be major assets to our board of directors,” says MCA CEO Pam de Rocquigny. “All our directors are extremely passionate about agriculture and giving back to the industry, so I know they will serve our farmer members well.”
