Our two awesome representatives for West Pottawattamie County!!

Rounding out our newest Young Farmer Advisory Committee members, please help us welcome Zachary and Ashlyn Elliott, who will represent District 9. Learn more about the Elliotts below or on our website!

Zachary and Ashlyn live and farm near Carson in Pottawattamie County. Together, they run a spring‑calving beef cow herd of Angus‑cross cows and put up hay to support their operation while also selling hay during the summer. Zachary farms with Ashlyn’s dad and grandpa, growing and harvesting corn and soybeans, while Ashlyn does accounting and data for Gregory Feedlots. Zachary and Ashlyn were married in September of 2024 and recently had their first baby! The Elliotts joined Farm Bureau in 2023 and come from families with strong Farm Bureau roots. Both received Farm Bureau scholarships while in college and were involved in collegiate Farm Bureau before becoming Iowa members. They have attended the Young Farmer Conference, Ag Insights Tour, and the DC Crop Report Trip, and continue to volunteer at local Farm Bureau events in West Pottawattamie County. Zachary and Ashlyn are excited to serve on the Young Farmer Advisory Committee and look forward to encouraging involvement, connection, and engagement among young farmers across District 9 and the state.
