GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., August, 2022 – In a new video by Family Enterprise USA, Mark Peters, Butterball Farms President and Chief Executive Officer, details how legislation and compliance aimed at helping business often end up hurting more than helping. Butterball Farms, founded here in 1951 by Leo Peters, has become famous for its embossed butter roses and other butter-based products.
In 1995, Mark Peters took over the helm from his father, and like many multi-generational family businesses, he grapples with the many economic and workplace issues facing companies large and small. In this new 20-minute video, Pat Soldano, President of Family Enterprise USA, and Peters address a wide range of topics affecting businesses, workforce, and family.
“Family businesses often get vilified in the press and by policy makers and are lumped in with big corporations,” said Peters in the video. “But we are not run like big, public companies, we’re run like we are all in this together, we run our business like everyone is all in the family.”
A big change and a big cost Peters details came after the Enron bankruptcy, when compliance costs “got out of hand.”
