The investments will add approximately 700,000 metric tons of annual crush capacity across the facilities, creating demand for more than 25 million bushels from American farmers. Work at the four sites is expected to be completed between mid-2028 and early 2029.
“Strong demand, supported by biofuels policy in the U.S., is driving opportunities for farmers and the broader American agricultural sector,” said Gary McGuigan, president of ADM’s North America Ag Services and Oilseeds business.
The company will make targeted improvements to existing operations rather than building new facilities. Each location will receive customized upgrades based on its specific needs.
At the Frankfort, Indiana, facility, ADM will focus on storage improvements and equipment upgrades, with completion expected in late 2028. The Deerfield, Missouri, plant will receive investments in conveying, flaking, extraction and utility systems, finishing in late 2028 or early 2029.
The Lincoln, Nebraska, crush plant will get meal storage improvements and debottlenecking work to remove current constraints. That project is scheduled for completion in late 2028.
The Spiritwood, North Dakota, facility, operated through the Green Bison joint venture with Marathon Petroleum Corporation, will see operational optimization and equipment improvements completed by mid-2028.
ADM is evaluating other North American crush locations for similar future investments.
The projects follow recent investments at the company’s Clinton, Iowa, corn facility and capacity expansions at its Optima, Oklahoma, elevator.
“These investments will help connect more American farmers to growing domestic and global markets,” McGuigan said.
