Warren H. Gfeller of Russell, KS, was recently appointed by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to serve on the Agricultural Technical Advisory Committee (ATAC) for Animal and Animal Products.
The ATAC advises the USTR and secretary of Agriculture on international trade matters related to U.S. agriculture. Gfeller is the owner and operator of Stranger Valley Ranch, a commercial cow-calf operation that runs over 800 cows on over 10,000 acres in Kansas.
“I am honored to have been appointed to serve on the Agricultural Technical Advisory Committee,” said Gfeller. “I look forward to representing the interests of livestock producers across the U.S. in international trade negotiations.”
Gfeller is an active member of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and Kansas Livestock Association, and was appointed as a commissioner of the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism in 2020. He has also had an extensive corporate career before returning to the ranch.
Gfeller will serve on the committee until 2025.
