WAYZATA, Minn. — Cargill’s Animal Nutrition and Health announces the opening of its new retail feed facility in Granger, Wash. The company notes this expansion as a milestone investment in the Pacific Northwest region.
This new facility modernizes production using innovative technology, such as automated bag check weighing and pedestrian sensing mobile powered equipment, to ensure the safety of Cargill’s feed and people.
“Our presence in Granger is in response to the growing demand for animal feed in the west, as the trend of ranching and farming continues to rise,” Phil Graham, Cargill Animal Nutrition and Health managing director, said. “We look forward to partnering with current and future ag retailers as the industry continues to grow.”
In addition to meeting the growing needs of farmers, the Granger retail feed facility:
- Has the capacity to produce and package 120,000 tons of animal feed annually,
- Brings 21 new jobs to the local community,
- And serves multiple species, such as poultry, equine, sheep, rabbits, and wildlife.
The new feed operation is a standalone facility that shares the same site as Cargill’s bulk dairy feed mill. It will hold pellet mills, packaging lines, a spacious warehouse, and so much more for employees.
The Granger team will work to increase the number of Cargill’s trusted brands, including Nutrena, Loyall Life, and Black Gold, on store shelves across the region.
“Cargill has consistently shown up as a true partner to Mid States and our members — never hesitating to lean in, listen, and take action,” Mark Schmitt, D&B Supply president and CEO, said. “This new facility in Granger isn’t just an investment in infrastructure — it’s an investment in our future.”
