As we move into spring and the start of another growing season, I want to thank each of you for the leadership you provide at the local level.

It’s hard to believe, but we are already preparing for the next harvest season.

Every harvest tells a story, and this year’s story looked a little different than most.

So far, this has been a smooth harvest. We were fortunate to have the majority of the Division’s storage plan met before harvest began, leaving only a few locations that required heavy shipping. Dumas, Pendleton, Wheatley, Hickory Ridge, Corning, Knoble, Newport, and Dudley were the primary shipping points this year, and our teams managed those efficiently.
