Cargill Inc. is closing down its feed mill on Pacific Avenue.
The Brandon feed mill, located at 12th Street and Pacific Avenue, will officially close on Dec. 31, according to company spokesperson Connie Tamoto.
It’s unclear when operations will stop at the mill, which employs between five and 10 people.
Those employees will have a chance to move to other branches of the business.
Cargill has also decided to sell Cargill’s St. Boniface feed mill to long-standing customer Standard Nutrition.
“We have worked to provide our Brandon and St. Boniface teams with opportunities within Cargill’s business units or with Standard Nutrition,” said Jennifer Henderson, managing director of Cargill Animal Nutrition’s compound feed business in Western Canada, in a press release.
“Together, we will continue working to ensure our customers continue to receive the high level of service they have come to expect from Cargill.
“The changes to our feed and nutrition operations align with our strategic objective to grow and sustain a business focused on helping customers thrive.”
In the Brandon area, Cargill has entered into agreements with regional manufacturers. The nature of those agreements are confidential, Tamoto said.
The closing mill was one of the last remnants of industry in downtown Brandon. Cargill demolished a storage elevator at 13th Street and Pacific in 2010. Tamoto didn’t say what the Cargill’s plans are for the downtown real estate.
