“The employees at the Carthage plant have worked hard and we recognize and appreciate their commitment and years of service,” said Mike Venker, president, Cargill Dressings, Sauces & Oils. “We made every effort to make the plant profitable and keep it in the community, but ultimately could not continue to operate it at a financial loss.”
