Cargill to Build New Feed Facility in Washington State
USAgNet - 06/06/2023

The trend for ranching and farming, especially rural lifestyle farming, is not showing any signs of slowing down. According to the Department of Agriculture, the number of lifestyle farms continues to hold strong at nearly 800,000 in the U.S., making up nearly 40% of all farms across the country.1 With this trend and the need for more animal feed, Cargill is building a new facility in Granger, Washington, solely focused on producing feed for current and potential ag retail locations in the region.

"The new Granger retail feed facility expands our existing retail feed footprint, enabling us to better service our retail customers and their farm and ranch customers in the Pacific Northwestern region," said Mariano Berdegue, Regional Managing Director for Cargill Animal Nutrition - North America. "As we seek to serve the needs of consumers where and when they shop, we are growing with retailers who are meeting those needs both in-store and online."

The new Granger retail feed operation is a stand-alone facility that will sit on the same site as Cargill's bulk dairy feed mill. The facility will house pellet mills, packaging lines, a spacious warehouse, office space, breakrooms and locker rooms for employees. Initially, the facility will be capable of producing more than 125,000 tons of feed annually, which will be packaged and sold under Cargill's Nutrena brand and many customers' brands. Cargill broke ground on the new facility in early May 2023 with an anticipated operating date of fall 2024.
