Employees at the Blair plant watched a live feed from Washington, D.C., and enjoyed refreshments, as Vice President Joe Biden presented the award to Alan Willits, president of Cargill Corn Milling.
“I think it’s very exciting for the whole team,” said Gavin Atkinson, manager of the Blair plant. “It’s a huge award, and it kind of recognizes the Blair team for being part of the whole Cargill family.”
With its headquarters in Minneapolis, Cargill Corn Milling consists of seven “wet milling” and two “dry milling” facilities in the United States.
The wet mills, in which corn kernels are steeped in water and separated into starch, protein, germ and fiber, are in Blair; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Dayton, Ohio; Decatur, Ala.; Eddyville, Iowa; Memphis; and Wahpeton, N.D. |
