PROFILE |
 |
J.R. Simplot hopes you'll have fries with that. Potato potentate J. R. "Jack" Simplot simply shook hands with McDonald's pioneer Ray Kroc in the mid-1960s, and his company's french fry sales have sizzled ever since. J.R. Simplot produces more than 2 billion pounds of French fries annually, making it one of the largest processors of frozen potatoes. Other operations include cattle ranches and feedlots (with feed from potato peels), phosphate mining (for fertilizer), and frozen fruit and vegetable processing. It offers products mainly to food service and retail customers under its Simplot brand and private labels. Although officially retired, Simplot, founder of the family-owned firm, is one of the richest Americans.
