Cargill will buy Golden Growers Cooperative’s interest in the ProGold corn wet milling plant when their current lease expires in two years. Cargill started leasing the plant in 1997 and purchased its 50 percent interest in the company from the American Crystal Sugar Company in 2022. Cargill and Golden Growers planned to form a long-term joint venture, but were unable to come to terms on a deal. As a result, Cargill will move forward with the buyout and indicated there be no change in the operation of the Wahpeton plant.
