20 YEARS OF SERVICE TO FEDERATED AND GOING STRONG
It was a good move when Federated hired Ron Paulson as the Isanti location manager on Dec. 4, 2000, and last month Federated recognized him for 20 years of service. In 2005-2006, under Paulson’s leadership, the old feed mill facility was taken down and replaced with what has become a thriving Country Store. Paulson, a Minnesota Certified Crop Advisor, has earned the respect of Federated customers and staff over two decades of overseeing the Country Store and agronomy operations in Isanti.
