Ms. Klingner has built an extensive career in the agricultural and logistics sector. She works to stimulate rural economic growth and create sustainable jobs in the food, agricultural and manufacturing industries. She also consults with domestic and foreign companies on globalization and political strategies.

For the past 5 years, she has focused a majority of her time working directly in the foreign market with governments, investors, local cooperative partners and industry experts to ensure transparency and integrity.

With over twenty years of experience in the legal, business, federal and international political arenas, Ms. Klingner brings a common sense, comprehensive approach to her farm-family, agri-business and immigration clients.

She was raised on a diversified family farm on the Iowa/Missouri border where she is still involved with her parents and siblings in crop/livestock production and elite genetics. Ms. Klingner, as well as her family, remains actively involved in the expansion, development and maintenance of our Nation’s critical inland waterways along the Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois Rivers.

She supports local agricultural youth through the 4-H and FFA organizations, as she places great importance on the education and development of our future agricultural leaders.
