Oct. 8, 2026 (Carman, MB) – Manitoba Crop Alliance (MCA) is pleased to announce the results of the nomination process for delegate positions on its four crop committees. The nomination period ran from July 1 to Oct. 1, 2026.

In total, 15 farmer members were nominated for the 17 available delegate positions across the four crop committees and are thereby elected by acclamation. Among those 15 delegates, four are new to their respective committees and 11 are incumbents.

“Our crop committees provide a strong voice for each crop type we represent, while also creating opportunities for collaboration and a cross-commodity approach to the issues all farmers face,” says MCA CEO Pam de Rocquigny.

“I would like to thank all the MCA farmer members who let their names stand for nomination and I look forward to seeing how they will help guide the direction of our industry.”

Corn: Doug Martin (East Selkirk), Jonothan Hodson (Lenore), Warren McCutcheon (Carman) and Joel Doerksen (MacGregor) were nominated for the four available crop committee delegate positions.

Flax: Nick Matheson (Stonewall), Leigh Smith (Oak Lake) and Angela Brackenreed (Justice) were nominated for the four available crop committee delegate positions. One delegate position on this crop committee remains vacant. 

Sunflower: Nathan Tolenaar (Stony Mountain), Darcy Watson (Rossendale) and Brad Anderson (Cypress River) were nominated for the four available crop committee delegate positions. One delegate position on this crop committee remains vacant.

Wheat and Barley: Scott Mowbray (Cartwright), Robert Misko (Roblin), Brad Myskiw (Woodlands), Ryan Hueging (Warren) and Kelvin Rothenburger (Stanley) were nominated for the five available crop committee delegate positions.

The new delegates will join their respective committees in January 2027. MCA is seeking candidates to fill the vacant delegate positions on the flax and sunflower crop committees.
