A Calumet County dairy producer has been elected by her peers to lead the Wisconsin Beef Council. During the group's annual meeting recently, Rosie Lisowe Chilton was chosen to lead the 23-member board as president for the next two years.
Lisowe serves on the board through appointment by the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation. She succeeds Val Gaffney, a seedstock producer from Barneveld who served as president since 2019.
"Being elected as president is an honor," Lisowe said. "One of the goals I really would like to see is the producers knowing where their dollar is going and what it is being spent on to help move their product whether it is within the country or exporting it out of the country. I think there is great value there."
Lisowe will also act as the Federation of State Beef Councils director on behalf of Wisconsin. Gaffney will continue to serve on the panel as past president.
Other officers include Amy Radunz, president-elect; Curt Larson, secretary-treasurer; Brad Solchenberger, Promotion Committee chair; Jim Rychtik, Producer Communications/Industry Information Committee chair; Brady Zuck, at-large member; and Jack Johnson, at-large member.
The Wisconsin Beef Council Board is made up of individuals appointed by statewide organizations to serve three-year terms.
