Tyson’s new feed mill for its turkey complex in Storm Lake, Iowa, has been completed and a ribbon-cutting and flag-raising ceremony held, according to reports.

The feed mill has been in operation for six months and adds 69 acres to the complex, which includes grow-out facilities, a research farm and a processing plant, Storm Lake Radio reported. The feed mill serves Tyson’s prepared foods division and produces feed with locally produced corn and soybean meal.

“We’re running full capacity, we’ve got three full shifts. It’s just been the best thing that we’ve done is open up a new feed mill here,” said Joe Hedden, Tyson’s association director of live operations in Storm Lake. “It gives us some great opportunities to help with the bird quality and animal welfare and just, overall, it was a great decision.”
