In her capacity as Southwest Field Representative, Holt will be responsible for supporting NDFB members across several counties including Burleigh, Morton, Oliver, Mercer, Grant-Sioux, McKenzie, Dunn, Stark-Billings, Hettinger, Adams, Bowman, and Golden Valley.

Her duties will include member support and fostering leadership development opportunities, enhancing the effectiveness and reach of the NDFB's programs in these regions.

Holt's appointment is seen as a strategic move by NDFB to strengthen its support network for farmers and ranchers in the southwest region, ensuring that the bureau's mission to promote and protect the agricultural interests of North Dakota continues to advance effectively.
