WILLISTON, N.D. – Williston State College will celebrate its graduating students for the 2022-2023 academic year this Thursday, May 11 and Friday, May 12 with two of its most anticipated events.
Two new farmers have started their work on the Indiana Corn Growers Association (ICGA) board this year. They are Tyler Everett of Lebanon, Ind., and Tom Murphy of Chesterton, Ind.
Murphy was elected to represent District 1 in the northwest corner of Indiana last year. Murphy replaces Mike McIntire, who served on the board for the past six years. Murphy and his wife, Lori, grow corn and soybeans in Porter and Lake counties. He has been a full-time farmer since 1999.
“We are a modern, row-crop farm,” Murphy explained. “We utilize technology and research to obtain the highest possible yields.”
In fact, Murphy has participated in the National Corn Yield Contest in an attempt to test that research. Besides ICGA, Murphy has also been a part of the Porter County Farm Bureau.
