AURI’s Statewide Impact 

AURI is proud to partner with farmers, businesses, and entrepreneurs across Minnesota and beyond. As the map shows, AURI worked on client projects in most of Minnesota’s 87 counties between July 1, 2015, and June 30, 2025.

The impact of these collaborations was significant to communities throughout the state. AURI also conducted several statewide initiatives throughout the year that we estimate will have resulted in or will result in over $800 million in economic impact.
