Harvest Select: Proud of its rural Southern roots

摘要

Ask Randy Rhodes to name something special about Harvest Select and he doesn't hesitate. Rhodes, president of the catfish farming and processing company, is proud that Harvest Select operates its farms and processing operations in Alabama, Mississippiand Arkansas, and is a strong local employer that provides good-paying stable jobs in that area. "We have created jobs in our community and all of our operations are in rural impoverished areas," Rhodes says of the company, which was founded in 1991. "So the ability to make a difference in those communities and to do it by running a vertically integrated company where our customers could literally trace the product back to its very beginning is very rewarding,"
