Radman Family
Charlie and Leah Radman operate a fifth-generation, century farm. They raise corn and soybeans using no-till and strip-till conservation practices. They also raise show meat goats for youth development and shows.
Both Charlie and Leah have careers off the farm: Charlie in master data with Post Consumer Brands and Leah as an occupational therapist. Their daughters, Katie and Ellen, also contribute to the operation.
Community involvement is important to the Radman family. Charlie serves as the Minnesota Farm Service Agency State Committee chair, on the University of Minnesota Rosemount Research and Outreach Center Advisory Committee, as the Dakota County Farm Bureau vice president, and volunteers with 4-H and Randolph/Northfield FFA Alumni.
Leah serves on the Randolph public school board, is a 4-H club leader and volunteers with the Randolph/Northfield FFA Alumni.
Their daughter Katie serves as the University of Minnesota Beta of Clovia vice president. She also participates in the University of Minnesota Block and Bridle Club and General Livestock Team, as well as the Agricultural Education, Communications and Marketing Club.
Ellen serves as her 4-H Club president, Dakota County 4-H Federation president, and is a Randolph FFA member.
