3. Guest S eaker: Jim Rid ewa, ri htco Products, Inc.
Mr. Ridgeway told the IDC that the egg business is changing,
once simulated with the wife a~ d eggs shells to the Sunday
brunch, to the frozen quiche, nd now to the 50-60 micro-
wave products. Monticello's f cility has 162 employees
(two shifts) and houses the fu ther-processing operations
for the company with other located facilities as the commodity
plants. Mr. Ridgeway's comment to Monticello's environment
is the city has no incentives for improvement. Regarding the
State, his concerns are the t 'x situation, Minnesota prices
on grain, and the export of a ricultural products. He sees
Minnesota as a high tecnologi al state, however, suggests a
state subsidy for product tra sportation to other states.
He views economic development as very competitive among
states and between cities wit in our state. Any plans for
a Monticello Wrightco expansi n are on hold. They utilize
their space to the maxium wit storage at a limit. Today's
hired employees have a higher degree of education or training
compared to the previous year when Wrightco did their own
training. Mr. Ridgeway expre sed the two main reasons for
Wrightco's merger with Cargil , Inc. as more exposure to
the industrial customer and h gher technological research.
Mr. Ridgeway expressed no dem nds of the IDC beyond his
concerns previously expressed
