Business owner shares concerns about Cargill’s intentions to close local facility
Published on March 26, 2026.
Cargill has announced it plans to close its food manufacturing plant in Dayton within at least 20 months. The closure is expected to negatively impact regional agriculture, as nearly 10% of Ohio's corn production currently passes through the facility. However, the facility will remain operational for up to 20 months or longer. Concerns have been raised about the loss of regular customers and potential decrease in local economic activity.
