Former NRCS chief hired by Land O’Lakes

A former chief of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has been hired as senior sustainability director by Land O’Lakes.

The Minnesota-based cooperative announced Jason Weller will join the SUSTAIN unit in a leadership role after overseeing an NRCS staff of more than 10,500 employees.

Weller will help develop a conservation portfolio of tools for member-owners as part of SUSTAIN, which was created in the second half of 2016.

Land O’Lakes says Weller has worked one-on-one with farmers and ranchers to deliver assistance to protect and improve the quality of their natural resources during his time at the Department of Ag.

Weller will officially begin his duties at the end of the month.
