LYNETTA USHER GRINER

SECRETARY AND TREASURER, USHER LAND & TIMBER, CHIEFLAND

Griner represents the seventh generation in a long lineage of Floridians. A University of Florida law school graduate and attorney, she now helps lead her family’s company, Usher Land & Timber, an unorthodox mixture of cattle, timber and crop production. The enterprise owns more than 6,000 acres of forests and a logging operation that spits out six tons of timber per acre. In 2012, Griner was the Florida Forestry Association’s first female president. She was named the Florida Department of Agriculture’s Woman of the Year in Ag in 2013, and then the Sunbelt Ag Expo’s Florida Farmer of the Year in 2018. In 2017, she was the only timber representative at a Farmers’ Roundtable at the White House.
