The Miller-McConnell Grain Company — a feed producer based in Kansas City — registered the Nutrena brand in 1921.

For the following two decades, Nutrena gained customers’ trust with eye-catching innovations, such as the introduction of the first colored bag in the feed industry in 1925, as well as the use of pellet mills in 1929.

It was in 1945 when Nutrena hit its big break. Cargill, which had been selling feed since 1884, purchased Nutrena’s stock — kickstarting decades of growth and innovation. Check out the video below and take a journey through Nutrena’s history.
