Clinton County farmer Alan Dunn to lead ICGA board through 2026

The Indiana Corn Growers Association hosted elections for its executive committee during a meeting on Tuesday in Indianapolis. Clinton County farmer Alan Dunn is the new president of the ICGA Board of Directors. Dunn served as vice president in 2025.

Tyler Everett, a farmer from Lebanon, was elected as vice president, Ferdinand Farmer J.R. Roesner was re-elected as secretary, and LaPorte farmer Joe Tuholski was elected as treasurer.

Dunn will complete his first, three-year term on the ICGA board in 2026. Dunn has farmed since 1993 and grows corn and soybeans on a traditional row-crop farm. He has a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Butler University, and he also serves as the president of the Clinton County Council.

“It’s an honor to lead the Indiana Corn Growers Association,” Dunn said. “No one does this alone, and I want our board to remain active in campaigning for the policies that will keep Indiana corn farmers profitable. I want to work to protect the miracle of modern agriculture and to help educate our consumers and partners on the amazing things we have accomplished – and will accomplish – as the industry upon which all others are built.”

Newly elected as vice president, Everett has had several titles on the ICGA board including treasurer last year. He is a third-generation farmer and works with his father to produce corn, soybeans and wheat on their farm in Boone and Hendricks counties. Everett represents District 7 on the ICGA board.

District 8 includes all of Vermillion, Parke, Vigo, Clay, Owen, Greene, Sullivan, Knox, Daviess, Martin, Gibson, Pike, Dubois, Posey, Vanderburgh, Warrick, Spencer, Perry, Orange, Crawford and part of Fountain counties. A full-time farmer since 2001, he grows corn and soybeans on his farm in Dubois, Gibson, Pike, Spencer and Warrick counties. Roesner is a recent board director for the Indiana Corn Marketing Council (ICMC), the state’s corn checkoff program. Roesner is an elected member of the National Corn Growers Association’s Corn Board.

Tuholski joins the executive committee this year as ICGA’s treasurer. Representing District 2, Tuholski grows corn and soybeans on his farm in rural LaPorte County. District 2 includes all of St. Joseph, Elkhart, Marshall, Starke, Fulton, Pulaski, Miami, Wabash, and parts of Cass, Kosciusko and LaPorte counties.
