U.S. Senator Joni Ernst, Ranking Member of the Senate Small Business Committee, has named Martin Hildreth Company of Calhoun County as her Small Business of the Week. The Hildreth family, leading Martin Hildreth Company through three generations, has been a stalwart family-owned-and-operated business since its founding in Rockwell City in 1954. The Hildreth family actively participates in community initiatives, including wrestling, Calhoun County Economic Development Corporation (CCEDC), and many others. Ernst says, “With its three generations of family leadership, Martin Hildreth Company exemplifies what it means to be a family-owned-and-operated business. For 70 years, the Hildreth family has provided essential excavation services in Calhoun County and has worked hard to give back to their community and our nation’s veterans.” This recognition aligns with Senator Ernst’s commitment to highlighting and appreciating the contributions of small businesses across Iowa. Senator Ernst aims to honor a small business in each of Iowa’s 99 counties during this Congress.
