The USA Rice Millers' Association (RMA) named Marvin "Butch" Baden of Producers Rice Mill, recipient of the RMA Distinguished Service Award, the association's highest honor.
Baden began his service on the RMA Board in 1982 and served as chairman in 1992. He has chaired the Convention Coordinating Committee since 1996.
"Butch has given 56 years to the US rice industry during which time he has sold, or been responsible for selling, more than 1.3 billion bushels of rough rice here and around the world," said Keith Glover, president and CEO of Producers Rice Mill, who made the award announcement.
"I can think of no more appropriate award to bestow on Butch than the lifetime achievement award, and on behalf of all the people whose lives he has touched in a positive way, I extend my sincere and heartfelt appreciation and congratulations."
"The RMA Distinguished Service Award is our association's highest honor and a fitting tribute to recognize Butch's dedication and contributions to RMA, the rice milling industry and the rice industry as a whole," said RMA Chairman Chris Crutchfield, who presented the award to Baden.
