Diana has been a member of Farm Bureau for 46 years. She became a member in 1972. “Farm Bureau is one of the greatest assets to a farmer. Farm Bureau is on top of what is happening in agriculture and is there to fight on our behalf,” she said. Diana has been actively involved on the board and committees on and off since the 1980s. She has been involved in membership, has been a member of a Farm Bureau community council and served as information chair for many years. She also has received state awards, such as the Young Farmer of the Year Award. She now attends board meetings on a regular basis and is a chair of Public Policy action team.
