Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) has welcomed Graham Schellenberg as its new communications and government relations co-ordinator.
“To continue to learn about (agriculture) and to be involved in such great work is something I’m really excited about,” Schellenberg told the Co-operator.
Schellenberg began his job with Keystone Agricultural Producers at the beginning of the month.
Prior to joining KAP, Schellenberg worked for the province as a policy analyst and assistant to the Government Whip. This included working closely with Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development.
He has also worked as a reporter, radio announcer and producer with Golden West Broadcasting and the Niverville Citizen.
Schellenberg grew up in Rosenfeld, near Altona.

Schellenberg has written about western Canadian history. He is working on a community history of a now-defunct school district near Altona. It weaves together issues like religion, agriculture, and gender.
