Wayne-Sanderson Farms Establishes Danville, Arkansas, Feed Mill Operations

07/11/2025
Producer and processor of poultry Wayne-Sanderson Farms has expanded its operations in Danville, Arkansas.

The $43 million project included the construction of a new feed mill facility, located at the company’s existing complex, designed to produce more than 8,500 tons of feed per week.

"The opening of our new Danville feed mill represents a major investment in the long-term success of our company and the local farming community," said Kevin McDaniel, President and CEO of Wayne-Sanderson Farms. "This facility enhances our operational efficiency, supports the family farms at the heart of our supply chain, and reinforces our commitment to sustainable poultry production in Arkansas."

Wayne-Sanderson Farms currently owns and operates 23 fresh and further-processing facilities across Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and Texas. The company produces poultry products for retail, foodservice, restaurant, industrial and institutional segments.

"We are proud to expand our footprint in Arkansas and excited about the lasting benefits this new feed mill will bring to our employees, farm partners, and the greater River Valley area," said Toby Tapp, Wayne-Sanderson Farms' Danville Complex Manager. "This achievement would not have been possible without the ongoing support of the City of Danville, Yell County, the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, and the Arkansas Poultry Federation."

"Building a new feed mill is a significant investment, and we are proud that Wayne-Sanderson Farms has chosen Danville, Arkansas as the site for their newest facility," said Clint O'Neal, Executive Director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. "Wayne-Sanderson Farms has deep roots in Danville, and this feed mill will help both the company and the community as it creates new jobs and drives growth in the poultry sector."
