CARGILL New Y2K Contract =============================================================== Cargill, based in Minneapolis, Minn., U.S.A., is an international marketer, processor and distributor of agricultural, food, financial and industrial products with some 79,000 employees in more than 1,000 locations in 72 countries and with business activities in 100 more. Cargill does about 56BB in annual revenues. cargill.com Cargill is an absolute giant. It is the largest privately held grain company in the US. I once heard (and don't know if it's true) that they had the port at New Orleans entirely tied up with their grain shipments for a span when some bottleneck was occurring. The reason they are not well known is that they are private. However, grain futures traders keep a close eye on Cargill's hedging. Anytime you eat a grain product, there's a good chance that the grain passed through Cargill's ownership at some point. They are major exporters. Cargill is to grain what a Parsons or Bechtel is to engineering/construction - enormous. Karl Drobnic ================================================================= The company's Y2K business continues to grow broadly.
