Cargill is investing $90 million to automate its beef processing facility in Colorado.

Cargill plans to invest nearly $90 million in advanced technologies, including a proprietary automated solution called CarVe, at its Fort Morgan, Colorado beef plant to enhance meat yield and reduce waste. This initiative is part of Cargill's broader Factory of the Future program, aimed at boosting production efficiency amid a significant cattle shortage. The technology allows for real-time feedback on meat cutting, potentially saving substantial amounts of meat. Additionally, Cargill is addressing labor constraints by funding $40 million for employee housing.
