The Kansas Farm Bureau board of directors selected fifth-generation farmer and educator Glenn Brunkow to serve as president following Joe Newland’s resignation.

Newland, who was elected KFB president in 2022, stepped down to pursue a new opportunity. Brunkow has been vice president since 2020. He previously served as 1st District director representing Atchison, Brown, Jefferson, Pottawatomie, Jackson, Shawnee, Leavenworth, Wyandotte and Doniphan counties.

He and his wife, Jennifer, own wheat, hay, cattle and sheep in Pottawatomie County. The Brunkows have two children, Tatum and Isaac.
