Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient Honored at Annual Executive Conference

[LAS VEGAS, NV — May 24th, 2025] - On May 6th at the 49th Executive Conference, Expana presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to Jeff Paschall, Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Fieldale Farms. The annual Lifetime Achievement Award is presented to an individual who has had a multifaceted and distinguished career in the food industry. Jeff Paschall fits the bill with 30 years of experience at Fieldale Farms, a family-owned poultry company that processes over three million chickens each week and brings in over $1.2 billion annually.

Since joining the company in 1992, Jeff has dedicated himself to building the Springer Mountain Farms brand, guiding it to national prominence while staying true to Fieldale’s values. However, Jeff’s story truly begins on his family farm in Western Kentucky—a place he continues to maintain to this day—where his rural values of hard work, honesty, and community were first rooted. “Jeff Paschall is the kind of person every industry hopes to have in its ranks - a wise mentor, a steady hand and a loyal friend,” said Russ Whitman, Director of Market Reporting at Expana. “He has poured his energy, his time and his heart into his work, his faith, his family and his community. Jeff carries the values of hard work, honesty and community with him in everything he does.”
