Daryn MacBeth ’93

Daryn McBeth ’93 was recognized as one of the Twin Cities “40 under Forty” by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal in April 2009 for his work as a leading advocate for Minnesota agribusiness. As president of the Agri-Growth Council, McBeth has lobbied for and helped bring together varied agri-industries—from local farms to Fortune 500 companies—under one umbrella to work on shared problems. During the Republican National Convention in 2008, McBeth even organized AgNite, one of the largest and most successful nonpartisan galas during the convention, raising $1.2 million along the way to pay for the event and placing Minnesota agribusiness firmly in the national consciousness. In September, he and wife Amy welcomed a baby girl, Mallory.
