Zack Koscielny of Strathclair is the new chair of the Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association (MFGA), joined by vice-chair Zach Grossart and finance chair Amber McNish.

“Our new leadership group represents the many bright faces of regen ag in Manitoba in many ways,” said Duncan Morrison, executive director of the association, in a press release.

“Their farming peers and networks are always well represented within the audience at the annual MFGA regenerative agriculture conference and are similarly aligned to the MFGA executive trio in age, mindset, farming preferences, family focus and information gathering.”
