Offers customers full slate of ADM farmer marketing services

Golden Peanut and Tree Nuts, a subsidiary of Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM), today announced that it is investing in significant infrastructure upgrades to improve speed and efficiency in handling farmer stock. The enhancements are targeted to be in place for the 2017 harvest season.

“Our customers and suppliers have always counted on Golden Peanut’s great logistics, and now we’re making the system even better,” said Grant Belden, vice president for North American shelling. “We are investing across the board in additional drying vans, increasing our drying capacity by 13 percent. We’re installing new cleaners and handling equipment as we focus on operational excellence. We’re modernizing our buying point in Donalsonville, Georgia, by making major improvements in truck dumping and cleaning capabilities. Taken together, the result will be faster, more efficient service throughout our system for farmers and customers alike.”

Golden Peanut and Tree Nuts is also offering farmers an extensive list of additional marketing services as well as access to grain elevator, transportation and warehouse facilities.

“We’re pleased to be able to offer our farmer suppliers a full array of products and services to help them grow their businesses,” said Greg Mills, president of Golden Peanut and Tree Nuts. “From crop risk insurance to FOB trucking to access to elevators and warehouses, we want to make sure our suppliers benefit from the full range of ADM’s global resources. Our experienced team will be talking to our suppliers about these great products and services soon, and we hope farmers are as excited about them as we are. At ADM, everything we do starts with the farmer, and their success is our success.”

In addition, Golden Peanut and Tree Nuts is working with Agrible, Inc., to offer its grower suppliers a free subscription to Agrible’s Morning Farm Report 2017 Grower AgriBundle®, which provides tools to assist with forecasting yields, planning field operations, reducing waste and saving money.
