ADM's grain processing facilities handle millions of bushels of locally grown grain, producing animal feed, ethanol feedstock, and food ingredients that ship by truck and rail to customers worldwide.

Taylor Corporation, one of the nation's largest privately held companies with over $3 billion in revenue, produces printed products, packaging, and business communications from its Mankato headquarters and manufacturing facilities. Minnesota State University's 15,000+ students add institutional freight demand. Mayo Clinic Health System provides regional healthcare with associated medical supply chains. The Minnesota River provides barge access for grain export during the navigation season (April-November). Mankato's cost of living is well below the national average, and Minnesota's strong public infrastructure and education system make it an attractive place to raise a family on a trucking income.
