Obituary: Former American Farm Bureau Federation President and internationally recognized agricultural leader Dean R. Kleckner, 82, formerly of Rudd and Urbandale, Iowa, died 15 at his current residence in Wayzata, Minnesota, from Alzheimers Disease. His wife of 62 years, Natalie, and family members were by his side.

Kleckner was best known for his long association with the Farm Bureau, the nations largest grassroots farm organization. He became president of his native Floyd Farm Bureau at age 26. He went on to be elected to the Iowa Farm Bureau board of directors in 1963 and became vice president three years later. In 1975 he became president of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, a position he held for 10 years, while also serving on the American Farm Bureaus board of directors. In 1986 he was elected as president of the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), going on to serve seven two-year terms.

Kleckner was a champion of farmers and the goal of increasing net farm income, advocating increased agricultural trade and the acquisition of new world markets. Kleckner was the only farmer on the U.S. advisory team to the GATT (General Agreement of Trade and Tariffs) negotiations when they began in , 1986, in Uruguay. Mr. Kleckner served on the U.S. Trade Advisory Committee, with appointments from three U.S. Presidents (Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton). In that role, he has attended World Trade Organization meetings in Canada, Singapore, Brussels, Geneva, Cancun and Hong Kong, working to gain access to new markets for American farmers.

In 1988 Kleckner was appointed by President George H.W. Bush to the National Economic Commission created by Congress to draft long-term solutions to balance the budget. The commission also included Chrysler Corp. Chairman Lee Iacocca; former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger; New York investment banker Felix Rohatyn; Donald Rumsfeld, then a former defense secretary in the Ford administration; AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland; and Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan, D- N.Y.

From 2000 to 2012, Kleckner was the Chairman of Truth About Trade & Technology (TATT), a nonprofit advocacy group led by American farmers. Over the years Kleckner also served on many company and organization boards including the World Food Prize, the International Food & Agricultural Trade Policy Council, the National Policy Association, the National Livestock Producers Association, the Meat Export Federation, the of Agriculture at Iowa State University, Iowans for Tax Relief, and the Policy Corporation of Iowa. Kleckner was a frequent editorial contributor in the press and broadcast media.

In his nearly 60 years of service to agriculture, Kleckner travelled millions of miles, visited 82 countries, and discussed agricultural policy with hundreds of thousands of people - from European royalty, U.S. Presidents, and international Agriculture Ministers to countless farmers around the world. In recognition of his contributions to agriculture, he is the namesake of TATTs Kleckner Trade & Technology Advancement Award and Iowa State Universitys Dean Kleckner Global Agriculture Graduate Scholarship Award. He was recognized with the AFBFs Distinguished Service Award, U.S. Meat Export Federations Michael J. Mansfield Award, American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers Carl F. Hertz Distinguished Service in Agriculture, and named to the Centennial Honor Roll by agricultural fraternity Alpha Zeta. He also was the recipient of honorary degrees, including from Wartburg in Waverly, IA, and Iowa Wesleyan in Mount Pleasant, IA.

Kleckner was a well-known and liked figure whether in Washington or on the farm. He was renowned for his great memory for the people he had met, his listening skills, humorous and plain-spoken yet persuasive speech, conservative politics, and ability to strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere, at any time, about anything.

Outside of farming and his time with the Farm Bureau, Kleckner enjoyed spending time with family, especially waterskiing on the Cedar River in north Iowa and taking family camping vacations across the U.S. and Canada. He also enjoyed fishing, snowmobiling, reading thrillers, as well as watching sports, whether at the professional level, particularly his beloved St. Louis Cardinals, or the local sports competitions of his children and grandchildren.

Kleckner was born in Riceville, Iowa, on 7, 1932, to Ralph and Grace (Lenth) Kleckner, themselves children of Iowa farmers. Raised on a farm near Rudd, Iowa, Kleckner attended Rudd Public Schools, playing on the high schools basketball team and state championship contender baseball team. He graduated from high school in 1950 as salutatorian of his 16-member class, his future wife graduating as the valedictorian. Learning to farm from his father, grandfathers and his own copious reading, at age 18 he took over operations of the family farm with his brother Rex following the early death of their father. This responsibility precluded him from attending college.

He married fellow Rudd High School student Natalie Kitzmann on 7, 1953, at St. Johns Lutheran Church, Osage, IA, and together they raised five children on the family farm: Rev. Mark (Kimberly) Kleckner of Bedford, MA; Scott (Jeananne) Kleckner of Van Meter, IA; Kirk (Karen) Kleckner of Blaine, MN; Rhonda Kleckner Kelloway of Glen Ellyn, IL; and Lisa (Travis) Kleckner Winkey of Long Lake, MN. While operating the familys corn, soybean and hog farm, he served the community with several terms on the Rudd-Rockford-Marble Rock school board and the St. Johns Lutheran Church board of elders. His military service was completed through the U.S. Army in Germany in 1955-56.

Kleckner was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Grace (Lenth) Kleckner, daughter-in-law Judy Black Kleckner, and niece Julie Kleckner Baird. He is survived by his wife Natalie, his five children and spouses, eleven grandchildren and spouses, and by his younger brother Rex (Irene) Kleckner of LeRoy, MN, two nephews, a nephew-in-law, and their families, as well as a number of cousins.

A public memorial service for Dean Kleckner will be held at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 8301 Aurora Avenue, Urbandale, IA, on , 18, 2015, at 3:00 p.m. immediately followed continued...
