Bartels named Hub Club Service to Ag recipient

by Ruth Klossner
It didn’t take long for Jim Bartels to figure out what was happening when a group of “invaders”—carrying purple and gold balloons—broke up the “mandatory” 3:00 p.m. advertising meeting at KNUJ Monday afternoon.
The people, the balloons and the Hub Club apparel gave it away.
The group showed up to announce that Jim is the newest recipient of the New Ulm Farm-City Hub Club Service to Agriculture Award. Pre-planning with KNUJ allowed the former Service to Ag recipients to break up the business meeting.
Bartels will be recognized at the club’s annual meeting and banquet Monday, Jan. 26, at the New Ulm Community Center.
Jim is the 49th recipient of the Club’s award that recognizes a person who goes above and beyond to serve the Hub Club and agriculture.
