BRANDT Remembers De Willard, Valued BRANDT Board Director and Friend
Longtime BRANDT Board Director and Brandt family friend, De Willard, passed away on November 13, 2024. De was the founder of Willard Agri-Service that regionally specializes in manufacturing and delivering liquid fertilizer as well as retail agriculture. Through this endeavor, De Willard, Glen Brandt and Evelyn Brandt Thomas developed a strong relationship with their like-minded entrepreneurial focus in the agricultural industry. De and Glen would also take on leadership roles and be influential in the National Fertilizer Solutions Association. De would become one of the earliest outside directors to sit on the BRANDT Board of Directors providing expertise that would help grow the company. The entire BRANDT Family extends its deepest condolences to the Willard family.
