THE QUICK READ
Cargill's Fort Morgan, Colorado plant processes cattle into boxed beef, with fabrication lines that break carcasses down into retail cuts. The site holds roughly 260,000 pounds of ammonia for refrigeration, large enough to require a formal process safety management program, since federal rules kick in at 10,000 pounds. Cargill is spending close to $90 million here on automation upgrades, led by computer-vision technology that measures meat yield in real time on the fabrication lines.

ABOUT CARGILL
Cargill was founded in 1865 by William Wallace Cargill as a grain storage business in Iowa, and grew into a private, family-owned agribusiness after his son-in-law John MacMillan took over leadership in 1909. The company expanded through acquisitions including Nutrena Feeds in 1945, entry into meat processing in 1979, Cerestar in 2002, and Provimi in 2011, building divisions spanning agricultural commodities, food ingredients, animal nutrition, and meat processing. Headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, Cargill employed about 155,000 people in roughly 70 countries and reported $154 billion in revenue for fiscal 2025. The Cargill-MacMillan family owns the majority of the private company.
