For Immediate Release: Fairview Mills Expands service and ingredient offerings.
J‑Six Enterprises, a family‑owned agricultural company with more than 50 years of history based in Seneca, Kansas, is expanding its capabilities of Fairview Mills LLC to better serve customers across the animal protein, agricultural, and pet food markets. Over the decades, the company has grown from a small livestock operation into a diversified enterprise supporting agriculture, food production, and pet industries through integrated services such as milling, transportation, pet treat manufacturing, extrusion, contract packaging, and ingredient solutions. This expansion reflects J‑Six’s focus on helping customers strengthen their businesses through improved nutrition, enhanced value, and more reliable supply chains.
As part of this strategy, Fairview Mills LLC is nearing completion and will open a first‑of‑its‑kind animal protein meal refinement and blending facility in Falls City, Nebraska. The new 63,000‑square‑foot facility represents a significant advancement in post‑render processing for pet food ingredients and is expected to create 8 to 10 new full‑time jobs, with roughly half of those positions being salaried roles. The investment brings both economic impact to the local community and technological progress to the pet food supply chain early in Q3 2026.
The facility incorporates a fully integrated system featuring advanced foreign matter removal, controlled refinement processes, and precision custom blending. These innovations are designed to optimize protein utilization, improve nutritional consistency, and reduce variability in finished products. As a result, the facility can deliver a sustainable and scalable supply of animal/poultry protein meals with higher protein content, improved digestibility, and lower ash levels than what is commonly available to premium pet food manufacturers today.
This expansion responds directly to growing industry demand for ingredient transparency, consistent nutritional performance, and stronger safeguards against contamination risks. By shifting from availability‑driven sourcing to specification‑driven manufacturing, Fairview Mills is enabling the consistent production of customized animal protein ingredients that meet defined physical and nutritional standards.
“This facility is designed for quality, consistency, and speed with state-of-the-art real time ingredient analysis throughout the entire system. Our process enhances already premium ingredients from the animal and poultry food chains. We are excited to bring this much needed service to the Heartland of the United States, and Pet Food Manufactures nationwide.” states Troy Kramer, VP of Sales, and Business Development.
