Caspers was re-elected and will represent the District Five counties of Cass, Johnson, Lancaster, Nemaha, Otoe, Pawnee and Richardson. He is a fourth generation farmer and has been farming for 15 years. His farming operation is diversified and currently produces soybeans, wheat, alfalfa, corn, as well as pasture and CRP. "I am looking forward to serving the soybean producers of District Five for another term. This will enable me to further build on relationships with other industry leaders initiated during my first two terms as an NSB Director," says Caspers. Newly elected to the NSB is Bill Miller of Upland, Neb., he will represent District Seven, which includes the counties of Adams, Buffalo, Clay, Franklin, Hall, Kearney, Nuckolls and Webster. Miller has been farming with his brother since 1986. They raise corn, soybeans, wheat and have a cow/calf operation and also help their parents with their farming operation. "I have been involved in the soybean industry for seven years, serving as District 12 Director on the Nebraska Soybean Association. I will take this experience with me as I begin my term as the District Seven NSB Director," says Miller. In July, a direct-mail farmer election was conducted in counties located in District Five and Seven. The director's terms begin Oct. 1 and end Sept. 30, 2011. The nine-member Nebraska Soybean Board collects and disburses the Nebraska share of funds generated by the one half of one percent times the net sales price per bushel soybean checkoff. Nebraska soybean checkoff funds are invested in domestic and foreign markets, including new uses for soybeans and soybean products. 9/1/08 Date: 8/27/08
