ADM plans to build a new soybean crushing facility that will have the capacity to process about 150,000 bushels of soybeans per day.
The company will invest $350 million to build a soybean crushing facility near Spiritwood, N.D. It's expected to be complete prior to the 2023 harvest and is positioned “to access both domestic and global markets for soybean oil and meal,” the company noted in a release.
“This exciting new project allows us to partner with North Dakota farmers to further advance the role of agriculture in addressing climate change through the production of low-carbon feedstocks for products such as renewable diesel,” Greg Morris, president of ADM’s Ag Services and Oilseeds business, said.

The company also announced a $25 million plan to expand refining and storage capacity at a Quincy, Ill., facility. That additional capacity is expected to be operational by the end of the first quarter of 2022.
