The reception was open to the community and those in attendance had the opportunity to walk around Riceland’s lobby and view displays that reflected the company’s history and highlighted some of the most significant moments in its 100-year existence. Several of the historical displays included old articles from the Stuttgart Daily Leader.For most of the reception, attendees visited with one another and shared stories about Riceland while enjoying cake and punch. About thirty minutes into the reception, Riceland’s Vice President of Government Affairs Kevin McGilton spoke to the crowd about how vital the Stuttgart community had been in getting Riceland “off the ground”.“Just reading through the letters that were written,” said McGilton of the items on display. “And, obviously, the Stuttgart Daily Leader played a huge part. You’ll see a lot of this history on these tables through the eyes of the Stuttgart Daily Leader.”Roger Pohlner, Chairman of Riceland’s Board of Directors, thanked the company’s employees and the community for making Riceland what it is today.“People may think Riceland is all the concrete and steel that’s scattered all over the city of Stuttgart and around the eastern part of our state and the bootheel of Missouri, but it’s not,” Pohlner said. “Riceland Foods is people. People like you. People of the community. Citizens of the community. We are very thankful today and we are here to recognize you and thank you for the success that we have based on your contribution.”About Riceland FoodsFounded in Stuttgart in 1921, Riceland Foods began as the Arkansas Rice Growers Cooperative Association.
