About

Our Mission: At Michigan Agricultural Commodities we believe in serving our customers through honesty, reliability, and growth. We are committed to grain marketing and agronomy services while bringing profitability to both our customers and to our company.

Founded in 1976, Michigan Agricultural Commodities (MAC) is a privately held, for-profit corporation, which buys, sells and stores agricultural commodities throughout the United States and Canada. Since 1985 MAC has purchased 13 elevators in Michigan (U.S.A.) and Ontario (Canada). Today, MAC is Michigan's largest grain handler with 8 locations, 39 million bushels of storage and 110 employees. Because of our broad geographical spread, we maintain a hedge against our mighty nemisis; the weather. Facility ownership, trading offices and international connections give MAC uncommon flexibility with unique opportunities. We offer these advantages while remaining small enough for you to talk to – and know you’ll be heard!

We Serve

MAC serves 12,000 farmers in Michigan from inputs to their final grain marketing and handling needs. We ship grain an average of 900 miles utilizing the railroad system. Our logistics team coordinates shipments to be able to provide corn to the Southeast United States hog and poultry producers such as Perdue, Tyson, Pilgrims Pride, Murphy Brown and Smithfield foods. MAC also ships soybeans to ADM, Bunge, and Cargill in the United States . Along with our grains going out for feed purposes, we also do business in ethanol. MAC has procurement specialists for the ethanol processing industry and our specialists procure nearly 38 million bushels a year to provide the growing industry.

We Grow

Over the past few years, MAC has been making great strides in expanding our facilities. We are continually making new improvements to our facilties, equipment and technology to better serve our customers needs. By the harvest of 2011 we will have increased storage capacity by 13.5% at select facilties totalling 5,610,000 bushels. Along with storage capacity additions, we are making improvements to enhance grain unloading and loading efficiencies. MAC's expansion projects have been fueled by the increasing grain production of Michigan farmers.
