Assisting Ruthven success
A growing manufacturing operation in Ruthven was awarded $410,000 from the Economic Development Set-Aside (EDSA) program and Enterprise Zone tax benefits to expand into a new building and automate its process. Farmers Corrugated Solutions will create 116 jobs paying an average wage of $12.47 per hour. In 2006, Farmers Corrugated Solutions bought a company in Arkansas that made pallets from cardboard rather than wood and moved production to Ruthven. Corrugated shipping pallets are lighter in weight, equally strong, easier to configure and recycle than wood pallets.
