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
