Advancements in milling technology enhance the precision, efficiency and safety of producing animal feed. Even feed mills that are only a few years old could be using outdated technology, reducing efficiency and customer service.

One of the best ways to keep up with the newest equipment, best practices and trends in the feed manufacturing industry is to look at what peers are building and investing in. Feed & Grain likes to highlight new construction, renovations and expansions. Check out our cover story on the new construction of AMVC Feed Mill in Hamlin, Iowa, in this issue.

It can be difficult to keep up with all the projects happening in North America, so we've put together a list of the ongoing feed mill projects we could find. Keep an eye on these projects in 2024.
