The Ohio Soybean Council Board of Trustees elected a new executive team at their annual meeting in November. The newly elected Chairman Jeff Magyar of Ashtabula County will be working with newly elected Vice Chairman Bill Bayliss of Logan County, Treasurer Cindy Layman of Hardin County and Secretary Nathan Eckel of Wood County.
“We have a strong team of leaders on the Ohio Soybean Council Board of Trustees for 2022,” Magyar said. “I am honored to be serving as the Council’s new chairman and appreciate their trust in my leadership for this upcoming year. We are keeping the future of the soybean industry in mind as we invest checkoff dollars in projects that promote research, international trade, education and so much more.”
In addition to the newly elected executive committee, John Motter of Hancock County will be rejoining the board of trustees representing District 5. He is filling the hole of former Chairman Bill Bateson of Hancock County. Bateson term limited off after serving nine years on the board.
