  • The company is hiring in 2026, signaling active capacity expansion.

What critics are saying

  • July 2025's $40 million refinancing added leverage after acquisitions.
  • California dairies anchor demand; drought, milk margins, or herd reductions hit volumes fast.
  • Organic and medicated-feed compliance failures would shut licenses and cripple specialty sales.

What makes Associated Feed & Supply unique

  • Since 2006, OrganIQ runs Central California's largest certified organic feed mill.
