Prestage Foods of Iowa is the recipient of the “Outstanding Business of the Year” Iowa Venture Award. Prestage Foods is nearing completion of its $325 million state-of-the-art processing plant near Eagle Grove. The 750,000 sq. ft. facility has been called the most advanced processing facility in the world. It incorporates design features to limit its environmental footprint, and enhance workplace safety and efficiency. The plant will employ nearly 1,000 workers. Of the estimated 600 million pounds of pork processed per year, 45 percent will go to other facilities for further processing; 25 to 30 percent will be sold in the international marketplace; grocery chains, stores, and meat retailers will sell the remainder. Prestage Foods of Iowa was nominated by Prairie Energy Cooperative.
