RED OAK, Iowa – U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Chair of the Senate Small Business Committee, today announced her Small Business of the Week: Kendrick Forest Products of Delaware County. Throughout the 119 th Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in each of Iowa’s 99 counties. “Kendrick Forest Products is a re-bark-able example of the ambition and resilience of Iowa small businesses,” said Chair Ernst . “For over four decades, the Kendrick family has been rooted in hard work, craftsmanship, and innovation, growing their operations from a small logging business into a global supplier supporting local jobs and strengthening Iowa communities.” Founded in 1983 by Tim and Rhonda Kendrick, Kendrick Forest Products serves the Edgewood community as a family-owned sawmill and logging company. From harvesting and milling to kiln drying and exporting products worldwide, the business delivers over 17 million board feet per year – becoming the largest sawmill in Iowa.
