Kristi Van Ahn Kjeseth, Chief Operating Officer, Van Ahn and Company, Inc., will be the featured speaker on Tuesday, June 30, 2026 at 6:15 p.m. at Lavender Crest Winery, 5401 US Highway 6, Colona.  Dinner will be served, followed by the local grain market update from Tom Parchert of River Valley Cooperative. Reservations are required and must be made by June 23 to guarantee your attendance. 

Kristi started with Van Ahn and Company, Inc. part time in 2009 while she finished her last year of college at North Dakota State University.  She graduated with a degree in finance and a minor in Ag business.  Kristi is very proud that she gets to carry on a family business and hopes that it continues to flourish for generations to come.  Kristi is married with three daughters (just like how she grew up).  

A comment from Kristi: “There are many things that I love about my job, but what I love the most is the integral part of relationship building we get to do with our producers for marketing. It is very important to remove the emotion involved in marketing and someone helping you do that along the way, is key.”

Cost for the series is $90.00 and a single session is $35.00 (if not pre-registered, cost will be $40.00).  To make reservations, please contact the Rock Island County Farm Bureau at (309) 736-7432 or email [email protected].  

The Market Outlook Series is sponsored by the Henry, Mercer and Rock Island County Farm Bureau Marketing Committees and the following:  Gold Star FS, COUNTRY Financial, BankORION, Alan Davis - COUNTRY Crop Insurance Specialist, Central Bank, River Valley Cooperative, Wyffels Hybrids, Big River Resources, Hertz Farm Management, State Bank of Toulon, IAA Credit Union and Blackhawk Bank & Trust.
