The J.R. Simplot Company, a privately-held agribusiness firm headquartered in Boise, Idaho, is a new sponsor of the Safety Day program at the bronze level.
Their sponsorship will allow two additional Safety Days to be held in the Treasure Valley and Magic Valley regions of Idaho in 2010. The Simplot culture goes back to the day when Mr. Simplot started the company by growing potatoes. Farmers are not just a set of customers to us, they are the very reason our company exists. To teach today's farm families about farm safety is all about protecting the future of our food supply," says Dave Dufault, Vice President and General Manager of J.R. Simplot Company.
Progressive Agriculture Farm Safety Days are one-day educational and fun events that teach children lessons that can help keep them and those around them safe at home, or on a farm or ranch.
The J.R. Simplot Company, a privately-held agribusiness firm headquartered in Boise, Idaho, responsibly "Brings Earth's Resources to Life" with an integrated portfolio that includes phosphate mining, fertilizer manufacturing, farming, ranching and cattle production, food processing, food brands and other enterprises related to agriculture. Simplot's major operations are in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and China, with products marketed in over 40 countries worldwide. For more information: http://www.simplot.com.
