TRADER

Gwen joined Midwest Ingredients in June 2004. She has come to view her profession as an energetic combination of recycling and creative problem-solving that pays off as value for her customers in feed cost-savings. Gwen can create value for her manufacturing sources by transitioning food and feed production by-product into animal feed uses, creating a returned revenue stream and helping them reach their environmental stewardship goals of reducing their overall landfill footprint. Through her knowledge and experience, Gwen strives to bring value by working with feed mills, nutritionists, or animal producers in the swine, beef, dairy, and poultry industries to maximize their purchasing power. She also works with manufacturers to efficiently utilize over-production, handling by-product waste streams, or de-packaging finished product and converting it to the most appropriate feed application. Some of the areas in which Gwen specializes in are dairy powders, milk replacer components, fat powders and protein powders that are utilized as animal feed ingredients.

TRADER

In our struggling economy, Tricia, through Midwest Ingredients, Inc., can reduce the amount of waste stream, off spec, and distressed ingredients that are produced at various food manufacturers. These products are bought and sold as feed ingredients throughout the US cattle and swine farms, as well as mills and other feed manufacturing facilities. Whether it is dry or liquid, bagged or bulked, these products are recycled as feed in lieu of land filling or saturating the environment. The use of a lesser expensive by-product vs higher priced feed increases the buyers purchasing power.
