Jack Mallonee

Vice President

Jack runs Mallonee Family Farms Organic Dairy Farm milking 60 cows. I am the 4th generation of our family farm. I moved back to the farm during Covid and have been farming full time for 6 years. I got a Bachelors of Applied Science in Agricultural Systems and Business Management. One thing I enjoy about farming is feed animals and watching them grow. I have been involved with farm bureau for 6 years now and I chose to run for the board to set an example for the next generation of leaders. The role of farm bureau I see is being farmers of all aspects together to serve a mission of helping agriculture.

Eric Klein

Treasurer/Registered Agent

Colvin Ranch is a fifth generation, family owned and operated cattle ranch in Tenino, Washington. The Colvin family has a deep love for the land and a commitment to thoughtful stewardship. At the ranch, we have learned that land management is not about mastering a formula. It is about paying attention and adapting. We adjust grazing rotations, give pastures time to rest, and watch how the grass and soil respond. Each season teaches us something new. Our goal remains the same: healthier land, better grass, and cattle thriving on pasture. We believe the land has a lot to teach us, if we are paying attention.
