A Traverse County, Minnesota farmer has been sentenced to four years of probation, local community confinement and more than $400,000 in restitution for his role in a case of fraud. According to court documents, Bryan Crandall conspired with two employees of the CHS grain elevator at Herman to manually increase scale readings when he delivered corn and soybeans. Crandall paid his co-conspirators with cash, vehicles and guns. This fraud took place between 2013 and 2017.
