She also served on the Iowa 4-H Foundation Board of Directors, serving as Chair in 2012.

Barb and Steve continue to farm and are the parents of three grown children: Andy (wife Sally), Dan, and Kourtney. They are also grandparents of Lucy, Archie, and Eli.

Together they are leaders of the Early Achievers 4-H Club and active members of the Early United Methodist Church.

ANN TRIMBLE-RAY

An Iowa farm girl, Ann graduated from Morningside College with a degree in Mass Communications, Print Emphasis, and had no idea she’d remain in her first job out of college her entire career. Her responsibilities and capabilities have grown over the years as Heartland Marketing has evolved.

Toby Becker

While attending college in 1996, he formed his own business to support a growing demand for music album cover art and agriculture brochures. Eventually, Toby transitioned to a position in the publication industry to hone his skills in typography, layout, and prepress.
