Indiana Farm Bureau delegates reelect Randy Kron as president

FRENCH LICK, Ind. — Delegates at the 2024 Indiana Farm Bureau State Convention reelected Randy Kron president of INFB by acclamation.

Kron was unopposed in the election that took place at the organization’s annual meeting on Dec. 14.

“It’s an honor to serve this organization and agriculture,” said Kron during his acceptance speech. “No good things happen by one individual — they happen when we work together.”

“Thank you for your vote of confidence and I look forward to continuing work with members on advocating for agriculture,” he said.

Kron was first elected to the role of INFB president in 2015. Prior to that, he served for 14 years as the organization’s vice president.

During his speech to county leaders earlier at the convention, Kron said that planning for the future and creating opportunities for members to get involved in new ways will be vital to the continued success of INFB.

“We have many successes to be proud of, including nine consecutive years of membership growth,” he said. “These successes don’t come to us by accident. Our staff and volunteers across all 92 counties invest their time together throughout the year because we believe in the future of agriculture and Farm Bureau’s role in securing it.”

In addition to his role at INFB, Kron serves as a board member for American Farm Bureau Federation, representing the Midwest region. He also serves on the board of directors for both the Indiana Grain Indemnity Corporation and Indiana Chamber of Commerce.

In 2024, Kron was named one of Indianapolis Business Journal Media’s “Indiana 250,” which includes the state’s most influential and impactful leaders across business, philanthropy, the arts, government and not-for-profits.

Kron and his wife, Joyce, farm with their son, Ben, in Vanderburgh County where they raise yellow corn, white corn, soybeans and wheat.
