**Tell us a bit about yourself and about Penterman Insurance Agency LLC.** 

I have been a licensed crop insurance agent for 28 years, working from my home office on our family dairy farm. My husband and I farm in Thorp, Wisconsin, and milk 1,000 cows. I am involved in the management of our dairy and human resources. We have five children, three of whom are still in school. I am active with our community, serving on the school board and active with our FFA alums. When I’m not working or attending sporting events, I do a little amateur photography.  

**Tell us why you are committed to the organization and what it means to Penterman Insurance Agency LLC. ** 

Working in the agricultural community and farming ourselves, I know the value of having our voice at the table in Madison and beyond. Working with farmers daily, I see and hear the challenges they are facing. It is important for our lawmakers to hear from us.  

**What are you looking forward to the most in your role on the board?** 

I look forward to meeting farmers across the state, getting to know the challenges farmers are facing, finding solutions and having the voices of farmers heard in Madison. I look forward to showcasing the good work farmers are doing. We have a history of agriculture in our state; we are the backbone of many of our rural communities, and we must protect our legacy for future generations to come. I am honored to serve on the board and looking forward to it.
