annual Milling Operative of the Year Award sponsored by Milling & Baking News, sister publication of World Grain. An aversion to flying prevented Ball from attending the IAOM Conference, but Charles Sosland, chairman of Sosland Publishing Co., which publishes World Grain and Milling & Baking News, surprised Ball on May 18 by visiting the Star of the West mill in Frankenmuth to present him with the honor.

Recipients of the Milling Operative of the Year award are typically surprised by the announcement at the IAOM event, but since Ball was not present at the ceremony, Sosland asked those in attendance to keep it a secret until he could present the award in person. Ball began his career in milling nearly 40 years ago, working part-time in the Quincy flour mill as he went to school to earn his bachelor’s degree. In 1974, after completing college, Ball began working at the flour mill full time and has been there ever since, including remaining on board as an instrumental leader when the mill changed ownership in 1980. “I became acquainted with him when our company purchased the soft wheat mill he worked at in 1980,” said Star of the West Corporate Milling Superintendent Gary Pickelmann. “Knowing immediately that we had someone special here made it a great joy to work closely with him and also to grow a very close personal relationship and friendship. “Ken is a very dedicated employee both for the company as well as for his fellow employees. Employee safety is very high on his priority list and he makes sure, as superintendent, that all employees have a safe working environment, at his location as well as at our other milling locations.” Star of the West President Art Loeffler said Ball has been a
