🌟 Employee Spotlight 🌟

We're putting a spotlight on Kena McGhee who has been an invaluable part of MFV for 4 1/2 years! Throughout her journey, Kena has seamlessly transitioned from a trainee at Wheatrun to the Head of Department at Qualiridge, then Manager of Wheatrun, and now Farm Manager at Forest Oak Sow Farm in Missouri. Kena's introduction to MFV happened at the Oklahoma State career fair, where she learned about the company and its trainee program. Reflecting on that moment, Kena said, "It was just the job I had been hoping for." Kena has a bachelor's degree in Animal Science and Finance as well as an associate's degree in Farm Management and Business Sustainability. Pictured with Kena is President and CEO Dell Murphy and her Forest Oak team. Kudos to Kena for her hard work and thank you for being part of our employee family! 🎉👏

Safety Topics from Mike Brown

Water is Necessary

Many people experience fatigue, headaches, and nausea during a normal day, but very few of us realize that these problems could be caused or aggravated by not drinking enough water. Water is one of the most important ingredients for survival. Water is the principal chemical component of the human body and it is vital to the proper functioning of all physiological systems.

A Good Diet

A good diet is important. Most people know that a proper diet is fundamental to a healthy lifestyle and that the things we eat will directly influence our well-being. A good diet can lead to increased energy, lower blood pressure, and a longer lifespan, while a bad diet may cause heart disease, poor digestion, and chronic fatigue.
