Aligned Ag Distributors LLC announced this morning the appointment of Brad Oelmann to the position of President/CEO, effective July 1. Oelmann has served as President/CEO for United Suppliers, Inc., since 2007 and will continue to provide direction and oversee the transition of their remaining business units until their merger with Winfield US is finalized in 2017.

"We are delighted to have Brad Oelmann taking on this key leadership role," says Steve Watts, who will remain as Chairman of the Board. "We have assembled an outstanding management team, are executing our business plan on schedule, and are now poised to tackle future growth opportunities."
