Greg Kessel knows western North Dakota is special. He grew up in Belfield and has lived in Billings County for over 40 years. He’s a true conservative and an advocate for agriculture and energy production. He doesn’t just talk about the issues- he lives them.
 
After graduating college, Greg started his career in the oilfield, doing seismography, construction and trucking. He also began his first generation farm in the meantime, which evolved into a family-run seed business. He knows their importance to our economy and our way of life.

​

Throughout his career Greg started several other agricultural businesses, while continuing to be involved in his community. Small-town life is what makes North Dakota worth fighting for; Greg knows it takes effort and commitment for small communities to thrive. He has served on the local cooperative board for more than 25 years. 

​

Beyond his local community, Greg has served on many boards, advocating for farmers, ranchers, and producers.  The Northern Crop Institute, North Dakota Barley Council, National Barley Growers Association are just a few of the organizations he’s helped lead.

Greg knows western North Dakota.  He lives and breathes agriculture and energy production. He knows we need common-sense conservative leadership in Bismarck to ensure the next generation of North Dakotans have the same opportunities he’s had. A lifelong resident of North Dakota, Greg and his wife of 33 years have 4 children.
