Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) announced on July 30, 2026, a series of investments aimed at expanding its North American oilseed crush capacity. The company plans to unlock approximately 700,000 metric tons of annual crush capacity, which translates to over 25 million bushels of new demand for American farmers. These enhancements are designed to meet the growing demand for renewable fuels and other vegetable oil markets, supported by U.S. biofuels policy.
Initial investments will focus on four U.S. facilities: Frankfort, Indiana; Deerfield, Missouri; Lincoln, Nebraska; and Spiritwood, North Dakota. The Frankfort facility will undergo storage improvements and equipment upgrades, with completion expected in late 2028. In Deerfield, Missouri, investments will target conveying, flaking, extraction, and utility systems, with work anticipated to finish in late 2028 or early 2029. The Lincoln, Nebraska plant will receive meal storage enhancements and debottlenecking improvements, also expected by late 2028. The Spiritwood, North Dakota facility, operated in a joint venture with Marathon Petroleum Corporation, will see operational optimization and equipment improvements, with completion targeted for mid-2028.
ADM is also actively evaluating other North American crush locations for similar future investments. These projects follow recent upgrades at ADM's Clinton, Iowa, corn facility and capacity expansions at its Optima, Oklahoma, elevator. The company's chief sustainability officer, Alison Taylor, previously stated that ADM has pledged to cut its absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2035 and decrease energy intensity by 15%, with a focus on fuel switching and carbon sequestration.
