Wells Fargo & Co. harvested a pair of agribusiness bankers from a competitor.

Jim Nutt and Travis Vogler, named senior vice president and vice president respectively, will join Wells Fargo from U.S. Bancorp's agricultural lending division. Nutt will build and maintain client relationships for the commercial bank's agribusiness arm in the Southeast, while Vogler will cover the Midwest's grain sector.

Tim Billerbeck, head of Wells Fargo's food and agribusiness specialty group, praised the men's 35 years of experience and said they would add to the expertise of his division, created in 2005.
