Wabash Valley Earns ERA Award

The Browns, Ill. facility of Wabash Valley Service Company has been named the Illinois state winner in the 2009 Environmental Respect Award (ERA) program. They are one of 20 agribusinesses nationwide selected for the top honor in their respective states.

The ERA awards are the agricultural industry's highest recognition for environmental stewardship among U.S. agricultural retailers, those serving growers and ranchers with the nutrients, pest control, and agronomic information critical to effective crop production.

A panel of industry experts gather each year to recognize achievement in environmental stewardship, professional excellence, and community involvement. The state winners are chosen based on evidence of excellence in site design, in-plant storage and handling procedures, emergency preparedness and response, proper application, and leadership in safety and stewardship among customers and employees.
