Pacific Ag's History

Founded in 1998, Pacific Ag has grown to become North America's largest crop residue harvest and supply company. Initially focusing on developing and operating commercial-scale crop residue and hay forage supply chains, the company expanded its operations nationwide in 2010. Headquartered in Hermiston, Oregon, with divisions in Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Minnesota, Pacific Ag has built a national footprint that ensures consistent quality, cost, and quantity in supply. The company's early commitment to developing sustainable agricultural feedstock supply chains has set it apart as a leader in the bioenergy sector.
