Continuing with our co-op month celebration, we want to recognize a critical part of our success - our employees! From the driers to the mills, Riceland has over 1,500 dedicated employees working tirelessly day in and day out throughout this busy harvest season.

"Mars, Incorporated, a global leader in pet care products and services, confectionery, snacking and food and the maker of some of the world's most-loved brands, has announced collaborations to provide financial incentives to farmers as they implement regenerative agriculture practices in North America."
