Hosted in conjunction with the 2023 Cooperative Network Annual Meeting
Kahler Grand Hotel, Rochester, MN

Jeff Lakner’s career as a South Dakota farmer/rancher, ag lender, and board member of some of the largest ag cooperatives in the US has provided a multi-faceted look at the entire food value chain. He’s experienced how a holistic approach to livestock/cropping systems, soil health, and water management is needed now, more than ever. No one system is right for all producers and stakeholders; by taking an end-to-end view, however, we can move closer to societal goals.
