World Day for Safety and Health at Work is a reminder that safety isn’t a program—it’s a commitment we live every day at ALMACO.

We’re proud to be one of only five companies in Iowa recognized in OSHA’s Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program, working in close partnership with OSHA Consultation to go beyond compliance and continuously improve.

Our approach blends proven strategies like the SafeStart methodology, helping our teams recognize how rushing, fatigue, complacency, and frustration can lead to errors—and how to manage those risks before accidents happen.

Safety learning at ALMACO is multi-level and ongoing: deeper training every two weeks paired with short, consistent conversations each Tuesday and Thursday to keep safety top of mind.

Because everyone deserves to go home safe—every day.

Named for ACES’ first dean, Professor George Espy Morrow, the Morrow Plots have shaped modern farming for nearly 150 years at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

They were established in 1843 to study how crop rotation, soil nutrient depletion and fertilizer affected corn, soybeans, wheat and other crops, and were designated a National Historic Landmark in 1969. Today, the plots – stewarded by the Department of Crop Sciences – are still a living laboratory, providing valuable information on crop production and giving researchers and students a front-row seat to agricultural innovation.

ALMACO is proud to be a part of their story and look forward to another 150 years of taking seed research to new levels.
