LANSING, Mich. – Gov. Rick Snyder today announced the appointment of Mark Reif of Saginaw to the Michigan Bean Commission.

The nine-member commission oversees research and promotes the bean industry in Michigan.

He was awarded the Michigan Sugar Young Farmer of the Year Award in 2014. Reif holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Kettering University. He will replace John Krick.
