Statement by Mark McHargue, President, Regarding Appointment of Fred Meyer to the Nebraska Legislature

LINCOLN, NEB. - "Nebraska Farm Bureau congratulates Senator Fred Meyer on his appointment to serve as state senator for Legislative District 41, filling the seat vacated by former Sen. Dan McKeon. Sen. Meyer previously served District 41 during the 2024 legislative session after being appointed by Gov. Jim Pillen to replace Tom Briese. He also brings extensive leadership experience from his two elected terms on the Nebraska State Board of Education, where he served as both vice president and president."

"Fred Meyer was born and raised near West Point, is a lifelong Nebraskan, and a long-time Nebraska Farm Bureau member. He farms near St. Paul and has strong agricultural roots and deep ties to rural communities, bringing valuable perspective to the Nebraska Legislature."

"Nebraska Farm Bureau looks forward to working with Sen. Meyer as he advocates for policies that strengthen agriculture, rural communities, and Nebraska's farm and ranch families."

The Nebraska Farm Bureau is a grassroots, state-wide organization dedicated to supporting farm and ranch families and working for the benefit of all Nebraskans through a wide variety of educational, service, and advocacy efforts. Nearly 55,000 families across Nebraska are Farm Bureau members, working together to achieve rural and urban prosperity as agriculture is a key fuel to Nebraska's economy.
