New Executive Director Danielle Bauer to lead Delaware Soybean Board

October 10, 2019

The Delaware Soybean Board named Danielle Bauer as its executive director, effective Oct. 1. 

“Danielle’s dedication to the agriculture industry is commendable,” said Cory Bauer, Delaware Soybean Board chair. “The board of directors is excited to have someone with her knowledge and passion working with our soy farmers.”

Previously, Bauer was programs and public relations director with Thompson Ag Consulting, where she worked with a variety of agricultural and natural resource organizations, gaining experience working with commodity groups and checkoff programs. She is a graduate of LEAD Maryland and Wheat Industry Leaders of Tomorrow, and has completed the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Communications Boot Camp.

A graduate of West Virginia University where she studied agriculture and natural resources, Bauer returned home to her family’s grain and livestock farm to make a positive impact on the local agricultural industry. She is involved with her local farm bureau, county fair and agriculture education advisory committee.

“I believe strongly in the role our checkoff programs play in the success of our farmers,” said Bauer. “We want to provide the best resources and services to our farmers, and I am thankful to have the opportunity to meet that mission every day.”

Bauer replaces former Executive Director Susanne Zilberfarb, who served the Delaware Soybean Board as executive director for the last 10 years and worked on communication projects during the previous decade.

“We want to acknowledge and thank Susanne for her hard work and commitment in building and growing DSB to what it is today,” said Bauer. “Her initiatives have improved the soy community, and we wish her well as she moves on to lead the Maryland Agriculture Education Foundation.”
