Cargill and Owensboro Grain Co., a fifth-generation family-owned soybean processing facility and refinery located in Owensboro, Ky., is announcing that they have entered into a definitive agreement where Cargill will add Owensboro Grain Co. (OGC) to its North American agricultural supply chain business.
Owensboro Grain Co. was founded in 1906 as a small grain merchant, and operates today as a fully integrated soy processing facility, producing soy products, including protein meal and hull pellets for animal feeds, crude and degummed oil, lecithin, various blends of refined vegetable oil for human consumption, biodiesel, glycerin and industrial waxes. The addition of Owensboro Grain Co. enhances Cargill's efforts to modernize and increase capacity across its North American oilseeds network to support growing demand for oilseeds driven by food, feed and renewable fuel markets.
