announce our partnership with ICR as we seek to increase our
visibility within the investment community and more effectively
target our communications to interested stakeholders. As one of the
leading national producers of canned produce, Seneca Foods is
positioned well to benefit from several favorable industry and
consumer trends, including the ongoing shift in food and beverage
consumption towards better-for-you products and the increasing
acceptance and demand for private label canned produce. Therefore,
we feel it is appropriate to expand our investor relations outreach
to ensure all potential stakeholders are aware of Seneca Foods'
growth and development opportunities. We are confident that ICR's
extensive knowledge of the capital markets, as well as considerable
background in the food and beverage industry, will be instrumental
in driving this effort." Seneca Foods is scheduled to present at
