Dane Diehl is an American politician serving in the Missouri House of Representatives. He won his first election from district 125 in 2022, and is running for re-election in 2024.

Early life and education

Diehl was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and graduated from Butler R-V High School in 2009. He completed a bachelor's degree in Agricultural system management from University of Missouri in 2013.[1]

Career

Agriculture

Diehl raises corn and soybeans on his family farm, as well as a cow–calf operation and feedlot.[2]

Diehl is the District 4 Director of the Missouri Soybean Association, and is also a member of Missouri Corn, the Missouri Cattlemen's Association, Missouri Farm Bureau, the Nevada Elks Lodge, and the Butler Chamber of Commerce.[1]

Missouri House of Representatives

Diehl represents district 125, comprising Bates, Vernon, and Cedar counties.

In 2024, Diehl worked with Bayer to introduce legislation in the Missouri House that would protect pesticide companies from legal liability from claims that products such as Roundup cause cancer. Diehl argued that costs associated with lawsuits could cause Bayer to pull products from the US market. Similar bills were introduced in Iowa and Idaho, with legal experts warning of broader impacts. Bayer increased lobbyists in Missouri over the previous year and also leads an advertising campaign with Modern Ag Alliance claiming that litigation costs threaten the availability of glyphosate.[3] The bill received opposition from fellow Republicans, as well as a Democrat Representative who recently battled cancer.[4]
