USAgNet - 07/06/2010

Cargill announced that it will manufacture and distribute Triple Crown horse feed products through its Nutrena, ACCO and Agway dealer networks in 31 states throughout the country (see complete state listing below). In these states, Cargill will replace Triple Crown's current manufacturing and distribution agreements with Kent, Blue Seal, Evergreen, Ranchway, and Kalmbach.

"Cargill's manufacturing expertise and vast dealer network made it an obvious choice for us," said Rob Daugherty, president of Triple Crown Nutrition Inc. "This agreement allows us to wrap the family of Triple Crown ultra premium feeds with Cargill's premier nutritional offerings."

"We are excited to offer the Triple Crown product line-up to our current Nutrena, ACCO and Agway dealers," said Brian Parham, director of marketing for Cargill Animal Nutrition-North America. "We believe consumers will also appreciate the increased access to Triple Crown products through our dealer network."

Cargill will initially manufacture and distribute eight products from the Triple Crown portfolio. Cargill will distribute but not manufacture the following products: Triple Crown Alfalfa Forage, Grass Forage, Safe Starch Forage, Rice Bran Oil Plus, Timothy Balance Cubes, Fish Oil Powder and Triple Crown Horse Treats.

Cargill will begin manufacturing and distributing Triple Crown products on Aug. 1 in the following states: Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
