RAM 2016 in Review

This year presented us with challenges like none we have experienced before

The Forsman Farms, Inc. project is by far the largest project to date for RAM, not only in contract value but in total square footage of all 10 buildings. When completed there will be 832,530 SF or 19.11 acres of buildings as part of a complex that will house over one million chickens and produce 279 million eggs per year.

The magnitude of this project has tested all parts of our company and I am proud to report that all have responded very well and proven that we are up for the challenge. This was accomplished while continuing to service our normal prospect and customer load that comes from our ever expanding market area. We had a very good year in Northern MN and out west in ND. We are continuing to grow the Alexandria and Mankato market areas. The home base territories surrounding Winsted were solid with plenty of leads and sales that locked up the direct labor force with plenty of work well into winter.

We are looking forward to next year with a large quantity of prospective buyers ready to go. The sales outlook is strong and the Forsman complex will be continuing throughout the entire 2017 work year. This will allow us to grow our carpentry crews and support staff knowing the work load is stable and ready to make 2017 the best year ever.
