Crawford retires

Marshall, Minn. — AURI chemist Jerry Crawford has for years worked to develop new uses for ag products. Now he is finding new uses for his time.
After nine years as analytical chemist at AURI’s fats and oils lab in Marshall, Crawford retired in March. He has been involved with numerous research projects, ranging from road dust control products to Omega-3 fatty acids in eggs and pork.
“Jerry has contributed greatly to AURI and its success over the years ... I thank him for his hard work, dedication and loyalty,” says Edgar Olson, AURI executive director.
Prior to joining AURI, Crawford worked for Allied Mills in Peoria, Illinois and Supersweet Research Farm in Courtland, Minn.

Aldo Handojo, a 2004 graduate of Southwest Minnesota State University, as been hired to fill the analytical chemist position.
