The forest products industry and timber producers lost a good advocate and friend today. I have worked with Wayne Brandt on forestry issues for the last 20 years. He was always true to his word, and a great friend to many. Rest in peace, you will be missed by many!

Sorry to hear of Wayne Brandt’s passing we partnered with him on agriculture and forest issues on many projects over the years, a great advocate and colleague. RIP – at Minnesota, USA
