This year the IFCA Board must fill two vacancies:  Rodney Phelps from Monsanto is retiring as the Seed Industry representative, and Dennis Ross from CPS is retiring from the Retail Representative in District #1 (NW Illinois).  You can nominate someone for these positions by simply sending an email to leslief@ifca.com or by going to the IFCA website to view, print and fax in a nomination form.  Board members serve a 4 year term, and can run for a consecutive 4 year term.  Both Rodney Phelps and Dennis Ross are retiring after giving 8 years of service to the IFCA.  We owe them our thanks!  Three other directors are running for a 2nd term:  Brian Waddell from Marco NPK, Jamie Southard from Effingham Equity and Jeff Eggleston from Hintzsche Fertilizer.
