Retail feed facility

August 15, 2025

On Aug. 11, 2025, Cargill’s Animal Nutrition and Health business opened its new retail feed facility in Granger, Wash. This facility marks an investment in the Pacific Northwest, expanding Cargill’s capabilities to serve current and future ag retailers.

The new construction deliberately modernizes production practices using technology and best practices from the company’s footprint to ensure the safety of Cargill’s feed and people. Technologies implemented include automated bag check weighing, ultra-low tolerance mixing and dosing systems, AI-based bag sealing assurance, pedestrian sensing mobile powered equipment, and full automation throughout all production lines.

“We are excited to see this new facility opened and operational at full capacity. 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, said Phil Graham, managing director, Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health North America. “We look forward to partnering with current and future ag retailers as the industry continues to grow.”

This new 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; eliminates more than approximately 2 million truck miles and 5,000 tons of CO2 annually; supports a wide range of feed forms including meals, pellets, crumbles, grains, textured and blended products; and serves multiple species such as poultry, equine, sheep, rabbits and wildlife.

The new Granger retail feed operation is a standalone 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. 

The Granger team will work to bring additional capacity of Cargill’s brands including Nutrena, Loyall Life, Black Gold, SafeChoice, NatureWise and Nature’s Canvas to 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,” said Mark Schmitt, president and CEO of D&B Supply. “This new facility in Granger isn’t just an investment in infrastructure—it’s an investment in our future. It strengthens our ability to serve the Pacific Northwest, supports our business growth, and reflects the kind of collaboration that has defined our relationship with Cargill for years. We’re proud to stand with them on this milestone.”
