February 1, 2024 | The Michigan Agri-Business Association and many across Michigan agriculture were saddened this week to learn about the passing of Phillip “Phil” Schmiege. Phil was a leader who took time to give back to our agricultural industry, his state and local community. His contributions to agriculture included serving as Michigan Agri-Business Association Chairman in 1999, and supporting the next generation of ag professionals as a MABA Educational Trustee until the time of his passing. Most important, Phil was an all-around great guy and a good friend to many, including our MABA team. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Schmiege family as we remember Phil Schmiege. Phil’s obituary and information about upcoming services can be viewed here.
