Central States

This week at Corporate, we celebrated three Employee Owners reaching 100% vesting—an exciting milestone that reflects years of commitment, hard work, and belief in what ownership truly means.

Congratulations: Debbie DeShields, Allison Williams, and Dan Pratt 🎉

Our fully vested Employee Owners are a powerful example of the impact individuals can make on our company, and how shared ownership creates opportunities for long-term wellbeing and financial growth. Moments like these remind us that when our people succeed, our company succeeds with them.

This week we brought our shareholders together to reflect on the lessons, wins, and challenges of 2025—and more importantly, to align around where we’re headed in 2026.

Strong conversations, clear focus, and a shared commitment to building what’s next. The momentum is real, and we’re just getting started.

As we look forward to this weekend, we are on high alert about the pending weather and how this could affect our business and yours.

In the event of a weather-related event, we will take any and every precaution for the benefit and safety of our employees. We take these matters very seriously and will do everything we can to keep production and shipping running. Should the time come to close for the safety of employees at the plant or on the road, we will take these measures.

Since the highest chance of delay would be the Sunday evening trucks or Monday morning production and shipping, please verify your orders on Monday morning with your salesperson.
