In mid-March, 2020 our team excitedly opened the doors to our newest facility – MPS Feed LLC in St. Henry, OH. We hosted a grand opening featuring presentations, food and facility tours to employees, board members and the public.

What It’s Like to Work with the Team at MPS

The MPS team works in a fast-paced environment with a strong emphasis on teamwork. We believe that it takes a team to get the job done right, and we see that concept trickle down through many of our locations, including MPS Feed. While our team at MPS Feed is quick to get the job done, they do what they can to keep the work environment focused, yet fun in order to ensure everyone has a good time throughout their workday.

Our MPS Feed team is:

  • Detail-oriented, with a focus on solving problems through the RCA (Root Cause Analysis) process.
  • Works closely to coordinate on plant repairs/shutdowns between operations & maintenance teams to minimize downtime impacts on customers.
  • Focused on the customer. Always.
    • Office Staff and Operations work closely together, meeting daily, to review ingredient needs, production concerns and any billing/invoicing issues from the previous day of production.
    • The office staff is continuously monitoring and focusing on inbound ingredient/corn turnaround times and customer service for local growers and partners.

At Mercer Landmark, we strive to do our best to provide our customers with quick, efficient and quality service and products. MPS Feed has allowed us to continue to grow and enhance the customer experience – while continuously helping add value to their farm. Our customers’ goals are important to us, and we work hard to do what we can to keep them up and running – efficiently and safely.
