It's amazing how many bought-and-paid-for politicians and economic pathologies ADM is behind - they aren't that big a company.

Oh, I think you'd be surprised.

ADM is a multi-national corporation conducting business in over 100 countries. Make no bones about it. Their net worth back in 2000 was over $300 million.

And their former head, Dwayne O. Andreas, who is now Chairman Emeritus, gave BIG BUCKS to just about every politician who could influence Ag Policy in this country. Bob Dole is an old buddy of his, in fact.

ABOUT ADM

Archer Daniels Midland Company is one of the largest agricultural processors in the world. Serving as a vital link between farmers and consumers, we take crops and process them to make food ingredients, animal feed ingredients, renewable fuels and naturally derived alternatives to industrial chemicals.

Because everything ADM does begins with agriculture, our partnership with the farming community is vital. Farmers are essential to the overall economy, and that's why we work to be essential to them - creating thousands of products from their crops, hundreds of markets for their crops.

Founded in 1902 and incorporated in 1923, ADM is headquartered in Decatur, Illinois, and operates processing and manufacturing facilities across the United States and worldwide. Through our extensive global distribution facilities and capabilities, ADM makes a significant contribution to the world's economy and quality of life.
