The Pat Hillman Safety Award.
Every year, facilities have the opportunity to win our highly competitive and prestigious safety award — named after the company matriarch and granddaughter of our founder. The winning facility (as determined by a panel of plant managers) earns a coveted trophy, $1,000 cash for each employee and a face-to-face dinner with JDH executives.
The ribbon has officially been cut on our grain handling facility in Stratford, Texas! 🎉✂️🌽🚂
While operations have been underway for a few months, it was incredibly rewarding to celebrate this milestone with so many people and mark a proud moment in JDH’s 139-year history.
We’re grateful to everyone who took time out of their day to make this event so special. A full thank-you will follow in a later post, but for now we’d like to give special appreciation to our partners at BNSF Railway, Mid-States Companies and Knobelsdorff, local elected officials, our customers, producers and suppliers, the Stratford community and our JDH team—especially our Stratford crew. Their pride in this facility shines through, and they did an outstanding job preparing it for this memorable day. We look forward to continuing to serve our customers and the community of Sherman County. ... See MoreSee Less
