About Organization
We have two overriding goals at Tyson Local Grain Services – to build strong relationships with farmers and keep local grain local. It’s why Tyson, a company that’s been buying grain since the 1930s, started the LGS program in late 2015. The result? Local farmers and economies benefit, and we get the best grain possible to feed our chickens. Today it’s easier than ever to sell your grain to us. Let us show you how.
Tyson LGS started with the idea that buying corn directly from farmers allows the money we spend on grain to stay in local communities, while feeding our chickens the highest quality grain available. It’s a win for all of us. We’re ready to put our expertise and passion for the farm to work for you.
Our goal is to build strong and lasting relationships with the farmers who sell their grain to us. With our mission to keep local grain local and your commitment to provide the best grain possible, together we’ll help feed the world.
