Greenfield Milling, which opened a new mill in Richmond, Utah, USA, in September 2025, is already planning a significant expansion less than a year after commissioning the facility, according to market intelligence platform IndexBox.
The mill, with a daily capacity of 7500 cwts, was financed with more than US$40 million. The company is currently seeking additional credit to complete a second phase that will double the mill’s size, with a second 7500-cwt unit slated for construction in 2027 and operational 18 months later. The Greenfield Milling expansion also includes plans for a new warehouse and mix plant on the site.
The facility, supplied by Omas Srl of Italy, grinds both hard and soft wheat and is anchored by a long-term supply agreement with an adjacent snacks plant owned by Campbell’s Co. Most of the wheat milled at Richmond is grown within a couple hundred miles, with about 70 percent from Idaho and 20 percent from Utah.
Founded by partners John Mason and Bryan Ledgerwood, who previously led Panhandle Milling, Greenfield Milling has focused on specialty grains and mixes. The company’s growth plans emphasise mixes and packaged flour over bulk business. Key partnerships with Campbell’s and Nippn Corp of Tokyo were crucial to the project, with Nippn coming on board as an investor and potential customer.
The mill features advanced technology, including an enhanced I-control system from Interstates, Omas’ Dante tempering process and Foss inline NIR for quality control. The facility has one million bushels of grain storage capacity, with plans to double that.
The company’s presence has reportedly changed the local wheat market, purchasing 20 percent of the market with expectations to reach 35 percent. Greenfield Milling operates its grain buying and feed merchandising in an arrangement with Bunge North America.
