• Red Stag Plays a Vital Role in Dairy Distribution (eastaurorany.com) — An Elma-based trucking and tanker-washing operation on Seneca Street is quietly crucial to moving Western New York's milk safely from small family farms to major processors. With 12 local employees and specialized food-safety certifications, Red Stag's facility cleans tankers for milk and juice haulers, including Mayer Brothers, helping keep the regional dairy supply chain running even through harsh winter storms.
