Enclosed you will find 3-copies of the 2014 annual report. As indicated, Butterball did not land apply
residuals for the past calendar year. There was some misunderstanding internally, as we thought this
report was submitted. We will be taking additional administrative action, like using a compliance
calendar to ensure this doesn't happen again. If you have additional questions or concerns, please.
contact me at 919-255-7900 ext. 7989.
Sincerely,
