Richter Joins CCFB Board of Directors

At the November 20th Clinton County Farm Bureau (CFB) board meeting, Tori Richter was appointed to fill a vacancy in District 1 after Bryan Henrichs resigned from the position in mid-October. Henrichs cited numerous other obligations as the reason for stepping down after 8 years of service, and encouraged the board to consider appointing Mrs. Richter to finish out the remainder of his current term.

Richter is an accountant with the USDA Rural Development Agency, and dairy and grain farms alongside her husband and father-in-law. Tori graduated with a double major in accounting and agribusiness economics from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 2016. During her time there, she served as the President for the SIUC Collegiate Farm Bureau and Agribusiness Economics Club. She also served two years in their Agbassador program, which is a recruitment effort for the College of Agriculture. Upon graduation, she began her accounting career and became heavily involved on the dairy. Their operation consists of a 500 head milking herd and growing corn, soybeans, wheat, alfalfa, and sorghum. Her main focus on the farm is managing the calf facility. She currently holds the position of Vice-President of the Clinton County Farm Bureau Young Leader Committee and also serves on the organization’s charitable Foundation Scholarship Committee.
