GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Voice of Milk, a collaboration between the Dairy Business Association, Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative and Minnesota Milk Producers Association, today announced a new addition to its member services team. Andy Welti joins as a Strategic Account Manager to support members of the independent dairy organizations in this multi-state collaboration, amplifying the voice of dairy farmers across the Midwest.

He served as a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives for six years, where he served on agriculture, environment and energy committees. He also has prior experience in education, public administration and sales.

“I’m excited to join the Voice of Milk and support our farmer members,” Welti said. “With my background growing up on a dairy farm and my extensive knowledge of political affairs, I believe I will be a valuable asset to our team and the farmers we serve.”

In his role as a Strategic Account Manager, Welti will work directly with members, supporters and partners of the Voice of Milk, aligning them with resources and service offerings that best meet their needs.

“We are continuously working to enhance our member offerings and services to effectively meet the needs of the evolving dairy community,” Lucas Sjostrom, managing director, said. “Andy will be an excellent addition to our team of Strategic Account Managers, who help carry out this mission.”
