DOUBLE EAGLE DAIRY WILLCREATEA MARKETPLACE FOR ORGANIC ANIMAL FEEDS DIRECTLY ADDRESSING A CRITICAL GAP IN THE IDAHO SUPPLY CHAIN. THIS INITIATIVE WILL INVOLVE THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF SPECIALIZED MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT DESIGNED TO EFFICIENTLY AND ACCURATELY CONVERT VARIOUS ORGANIC CROPS INTO 20 PRECISE RATIONS AND MIXTURES FOR FEEDS. THESE MACHINES WILL FACILITATE THE PRODUCTION OF DELIVERABLE ORGANIC FEED PRODUCTS INCLUDING FORMULATED PELLETS TOTAL MIXED RATIONS AND PROCESSED COMMODITIES SUITABLE FOR USE INDIVIDUALLY OR INCORPORATED INTO CUSTOMER MIXED RATIONS FOR THEIR FEEDING OPERATIONS. THE ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES OF THIS PROJECT INCLUDE AN INCREASED PROCESSING CAPACITY WITHIN THE REGION FOR ORGANIC CROP FARMERS AND A CORRESPONDING INCREASE IN THE CONSUMPTION OF LOCALLY PRODUCED ORGANIC FEEDS BY CONSUMERS AND RANCHERS. THIS MARKETPLACE WILL BENEFIT FARMERS BY PROVIDING A VIABLE LOCAL OUTLET FOR THEIR ORGANICALLY GROWN CROPS ELIMINATING THE NEED TO SELL TO OUTOFAREA PROCESSORS AND THEREBY REDUCING TRANSPORTATION COSTS AND LOGISTICAL CHALLENGES. FURTHERMORE THE PROJECT WILL SUPPLY ORGANIC FEED TO PROCESSORS AND RANCHERS PROVIDING A VALUABLE SOURCE OF LOCALLY SOURCED INGREDIENTS. THIS MARKETPLACE WILL SUPPORT A MORE EFFICIENT AND LOCALIZED SUPPLY CHAIN BENEFITING STAKEHOLDERS THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIC ANIMAL FEED SECTOR.
