E.A. Reichart Award Announced

E.A. Reichart Award Announced
Steve Smith, Director of Agriculture, welcomed everyone
to this year’s Grower’s Banquet, held on January 22.
Approximately 190 people attended, with some traveling 275
miles and one greenhouse grower flying in all the way from Georgia!
The Grower’s Banquet is held every January to honor the hard work and
many achievements of our growers.
As with most celebrations, the evening began with a social hour and then a
special celebration dinner. Three recipes created by our Home Economist,
Linda Wallace, were included with the other buffet selections. These dishes
featured Tuttorosso Diced Tomatoes in Juice and Tuttorosso Italian Style
Plum Shaped Peeled Tomatoes with natural basil flavor. Every guest was
given samples of the products to take home, along with a recipe brochure
featuring all of the evening’s recipes.
After distributing door prizes featuring Red Gold merchandise, Brian
Reichart, President and CEO spoke about the great relationship and bond
we have historically had and continue to have with our growers. The new
BMO commercial, featuring Red Gold was shown, and then he handed off the
microphone to Beau Reichart, Senior Manager of Continuous Improvement.
Beau will be taking over many aspects concerning the AG division of our
company that Brian has filled for so many years.
Steve Smith presented the nine Master Grower Awards. He described these
recipients as “not only survivors of the challenges of 2012, but enhancers”…
enhancing their communities, their environment, their industry and their
employees and families!
The most coveted award given each year is the E.A. Reichart Award, which is
named in honor of Ernie Reichart, the patriarch of our company for nearly 50
years. Just one of the Master Growers is selected… and the winner of the 22nd
presentation of this award was:
Congratulations to:
AcMoody Farms –Congratulations!
• Bockelman Farms from Napoleon, Ohio, earning their 2nd award
• Kurtz Farms from Malinta, Ohio, earning their 2nd award
• Myers Sod Farm from Seymour, Indiana, earning their 2nd award
• Morrin Farms from Erie, Michigan, earning their 4th award
• State Line Farms from Morenci, Michigan, earning their 5th award
• AcMoody Farms from Union City, Michigan, earning their 6th award
• Middlesworth Farms from Marion, Indiana, earning their 6th award
• Janssen Brothers from Monroe, Michigan, earning their 7th award
• Planson Farms from Stryker, Ohio, earning their 7th award
The Innovation Award was presented by Adam Hartley. This year, Wischmeyer
Farms from Ottawa, Ohio was the winner. He modified his planter and added
a second seat, which allowed him to plant more acres per day. To cap off
the awards portion of the evening, a light-hearted Yield Guessing Award was
announced by Curt Utterback. Every summer at our Grower’s Field Day, we
ask guests to submit what they believe their average yield will be and the
closest guess was by one of our grower’s wives. Tracy Carey of Carey Farms,
Swayzee, IN guessed within .02 tons per acre, making her guess off only by
a mere 40 pounds!
Tom Mabe, a comedian who has been labeled as “The Comic with a Cause”
was the entertainment for the evening. He is nationally recognized for getting
revenge on ‘annoying’ telemarketers, poking fun at anything from junk email
and bad customer service to high gas prices and anything else that ticks off
the average American.
The day after the banquet, our growers, agriculture staff and several Red Gold
executives attended an informative seminar in Indianapolis at the Indiana Raw
Products meeting.
Congratulations!
There were 60 Internal Promotions
from January 2012-2013!!

Red Gold’s product line expansion in 1980 made it critical for us to be
in control of our own transportation needs. The company purchased a
private fleet with the acquisition of Fettig Transportation, starting with just
5 trucks and 15 trailers and in a few short years, it grew quickly. In 1990,
Fettig Transportation was renamed RG Transport, our sister company,
and in 1998 RGT became more than a “private fleet”, offering its assets
to other food distribution companies. Now RGT operates more than 163
trucks, 481 trailers and has 170 drivers.
Here are some other interesting facts about RGT:
• The number of tires in operations – 5,548
• If you take all our trailers and put them end to end they will span five miles
• RG Transport runs enough miles a year to drive around the earth over
500 times
• We use over 2,000,000 gallons of fuel each year

“Two ants do not fail to pull a grasshopper”
An ant is a very small insect, but with the combined strength of two, they can pull a grasshopper. Counting on the integrity and cooperation of each
other is a good portion of what makes Red Gold successful! We have employees who are not only trained and ready to work, but have dedication to
what they do because of their commitment to their families and to one another. The Red Gold employee work ethic is so superior that a full 93% of our
employees have attendance that qualifies them to bid to another position, and 200 of them have ‘perfect attendance’! P.A. means that for an entire
year, these employees have worked every scheduled hour, without being tardy or leaving early… Wow, what an accomplishment!!!

Just to let you know....I started using your tomato
products several years ago when I noticed them on
the shelves at our local HEB. Your items are all high
quality, but your Diced Tomato and Green Chilies are
truly outstanding. I use it as a base for home made
fresh salsa, soups, and queso. Excellent! You caught
Rotel asleep at the switch. I will never use Rotel
again. Congrats Brian M., TX

Cans Get You Cooking
The Can Manufacturers Institute has
developed a multi-year marketing
campaign with the message:
Cans Get You COOKING!
The advertising campaign will commence in February 2013 in conjunction
with ‘National Canned Food Month’. It was developed based on consumer
insight obtained through comprehensive research, designed to reach those
who enjoy canned foods and would use more if they received the right
message.
Red Gold will be supporting the ‘Cans Get you Cooking’ campaign in
the following ways:
• We will be participating in several aspects of ABC’s network show
‘The Chew’
•• Red Gold products will be on display on The Chew’s in-studio CANtry
•• A CHEWpon for $1.00 on any three Red Gold, Redpack or Tuttorosso
brand tomato products will be available on thechew.com in February of
this year
•• Look for Red Gold’s TV commercial featured on The Chew.com in February
of this year
•• Red Gold radio commercials in Texas, Georgia, and Florida markets have a
‘Cans Get You Cooking’ 10 second tag
•• Cans Get You Cooking onpack booklets about Red Gold Brands will feature
recipes and e-coupons (onpack are booklets attached to the top of the can)
Omega-3s?
We hear about them on TV and articles in magazines, but are there really any health
benefits by increasing omega-3s in your food intake or from taking supplements?
The answer is yes, there are many health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. Research
shows strong evidence that the omega-3s EPA and DHA can boost heart health and
lower triglycerides. There are also studies showing that omega-3 fatty acids may help
with other conditions -- rheumatoid arthritis, depression, asthma and many more.
Here’s a rundown of the essential omega-3 facts you need to know;
• Omega-3’s are considered essential fatty acids. We need them for our bodies
to work normally. These essential fatty acids (ALA,DHA,EPA) are not made in
the body, so we need to get them from our diet or a supplement
• When possible, try to get omega-3 fatty acids from foods rather than
supplements. Some examples of foods high in EPA and DHA are; anchovies,
bluefish, herring, mackerel, salmon (wild has more omega-3s than farmed),
sardines, sturgeon, lake trout, and tuna
• Good food sources of ALA -- which is also converted into omega-3 fatty acids
in the body -- include walnuts, flaxseed and flaxseed oil, canola oil, olive oil,
and soybean oil
• The evidence is preliminary on Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Recent
studies have evaluated whether the omega-3 supplement DHA can slow the
decline seen in those with Alzheimer’s dementia or in age-associated memory
impairment. One study showed that DHA can be a beneficial supplement and
may have a positive effect on gradual memory loss associated with aging.
However, more research needs to be done.
Talk to your doctor first before taking any supplement! He or she may have
specific recommendations -- or warnings -- depending on your health and the other
medicines you take.

KETCHUP KORNER
This is a place where you can catch up (Get it?) on fun facts about our products, people and activities.
This edition, let’s learn about transportation terms as they relate to our products! Did you know…?
• The load limit for semi-tractor and trailer is 80,000 lbs max
• The load legally has to be distributed across the axles of the tractor and trailer meaning that:
• A standard maximum legal load would require 34,000 lbs on the two trailer axles, 34,000 lbs on the two rear tractor axles and
12,000 lbs on the front steering axle
• Trucks with special axle configurations can vary on weight distribution, but none can exceed the maximum without an oversize load permit
Quarterly Definitions
Shuttle (Red Gold Definition) – Inter-plant or local warehouse truck load shipments.
Humping – A term used to describe a car sorting process by the railroad, where a train is backed up to a slight downhill grade called a “HUMP” above a
switch yard. The cars are released to roll down the slope and guide into the correct siding for the designated destination. Excessive speed or force during this
process can cause collisions with cars already on the siding, resulting in load damage.
Demurrage - The compensation a carrier is entitled to receiving, for the detention of a freight car or other cargo during loading
or unloading beyond the scheduled time of departure.
Sliding – A term used by truck drivers who have to move the rear set of wheels on the trailer to balance the load in the trailer,
so it is legally distributed across the axles of the tractor and trailer.

Advice from Stewie
Do you need some simple advice from a very knowledgeable tomato? Stewie would like to help!
Email your question to askstewie557@gmail.com . He will select random questions and respond
in the newsletter with an honest solution to your problem.
Dear Stewie,
I need some advice. I am in love with someone who doesn’t like tomatoes. I’ve tried everything; petite diced,
diced with sweet onion, whole peeled, but he won’t even try them. What should I do? -Lost In Love, Indiana
Dear Lost in Love,
Don’t be crushed, but he sounds a little chili to me. Look for someone less dicey!
Yours Truly, Stewie
Dear Stewie,
Do you have any good suggestions on how to get motivated to exercise? -Lazy Days, Ohio
Remember to email
Stewie at
askstewie557@gmail.com
with questions
Dear Lazy Days,
Winter blues got you down? The best way I get motivated, is to start my morning with a nice glass of veggie juice, do some good
muscle stretching, and then hit the pavement. A good brisk walk will make you feel better. Bet you can’t ketchup with me though.
(Wink, Wink)
Yours Truly, Stewie
GMOs - What do ya know?
In today’s culture, we are often warned about a lot of things, especially in what we eat.
One topic many of us may have heard about in the news is GMOs- Genetically Modified
Organisms. Many of us have probably noticed those three letters on some of our foods’
labels. But, how many of us know what they really mean?
Genetically modified foods are from plants that have had some genetic
characteristics altered, but crops are not the only GMOs. Genetic engineering
has been used in fish, trees, and numerous animal models in medicine. In
the last five years, genetically modified crops have gained widespread
acceptance in the United States, and now more than 40% of soybeans,
cotton, and corn are of biotech origin. Some crops have been modified
to contain insect and weed resistance, or other environmental tolerances.
This increases the potential to grow crops with greater efficiency and fewer
herbicides and insecticides. Others, like Golden Rice, rice with the gene
for producing Vitamin A, offer the possibility of providing otherwise unattainable
nutrients in developing nations.
• So what does this genetic engineering mean? A few would read that last paragraph
and think, “Our corn has chemical pesticides grown in them??!” The short answer
is No, No, No, but to thoroughly answer that question, perhaps it’s best to start
with defining “pesticides”. Pesticide can be naturally derived or a synthetically
produced substance. The naturally derived pesticides contain genes; the synthetic
or chemical pesticides do not. A gene from a naturally derived pesticide, such as a
good beneficial bacteria, can be incorporated into our crops, but “Raid” can’t be!!!
In summary, scientists are combining the stuff in nature that fights fungus, molds
and pests with our crops, to give them the same advantage.
• So what is all the hub-bub about GMOs? In recent months, both California (Prop
37) and Washington (Initiative 522) have had strong initiatives to require
labeling for GMOs. These initiatives contend that GMOs are harmful not
only to the consumers, but also to the farmers and the environment.
They state that consumers have the right to know when they are eating
genetically modified foods.
•
GM crops may help farmers gain a better yield (for example,
crops that can withstand periods of drought). They may also provide
crops with better nutrition to prevent sickness. There have been more than
100 peer-reviewed studies over the years, many by independent, non-industry
scientists, which have demonstrated the safety of GM crops and food. These
studies show GM crops and food to be safe, nutritionally equivalent, and in some
cases superior. It should be noted that no long term studies have been published,
because GM crops have only been around for a decade. Just in case you are
wondering…tomatoes grown for Red Gold are non-GM.
