Two Minnesota agricultural leaders have joined the AURI board of directors.

 

Art Brandli

With his wife Nancy, Brandli raises wheat, sunflower and canola on their farm near the Canadian border. He was past president of the National Wheat Foods Council and the Northwest Minnesota Foundation.

 

Ron Obermoeller

Ron Obermoeller, who farms 800 acres of corn and soybeans near Brewster, Minn., represents the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council. He has served on the National Corn Growers board, Minnesota Biodiesel Task Force and other agricultural committees.
