Archer Daniels Midland Co. (ADM) this week held a grand opening celebration for its new high-tech feed facility in Columbus, Neb.

“Earlier this spring, we opened our new pet food premix facility in Effingham, Ill. Today, we’re celebrating another new state-of-the-art ADM Animal Nutrition plant, this time in Columbus, Neb.,” said Samson Li, president of ADM Animal Nutrition. “We’re proud to invest in Columbus and in a new, modern facility that will allow us to continue to meet customer needs for high-quality, cost-competitive feed.”

Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts, who attended the event, said, “Adding value to agricultural products is at the heart of a strong and growing ag economy in Nebraska. By producing high-quality livestock feed here, ADM is not only adding value to ag products, but their continued investment adds value to our state. We are excited that ADM continues to invest in Columbus and across Nebraska.”

The new facility features state-of-the-art technology that includes:

  • Expanded warehouse space to serve customers more quickly and efficiently.

  • A new production line to provide range blocks for cattle, dairy cows and horses.

  • Automation within receiving, batching, packaging and loadout.

  • Multiple batching systems with simultaneous weighing for high efficiency and high output.

  • Completely integrated process control system designed to deliver consistent food quality and safety.

“From last year’s Crosswind acquisition to our new facilities across the U.S. to our growth in China, we are continuing to invest to ensure that ADM Animal Nutrition is the go-to partner for livestock, aquaculture and companion-animal customers around the globe,” Li said.
