Community Commitment

Lansing Employees' Commitment to our Community

Cargill is a driving force in the local economy. According to a recent independent study, Cargill’s annual contribution to the local and state economy is:

Currently, the Cayuga Mine employs more than 200 full-time employees in operations, maintenance, engineering, finance, management and support positions. Through additional spending in the community, the mine supports more than 150 additional full-time jobs.

Last year 125 employees donated more than 4,000 volunteer hours to the community. The Cayuga Mine and Cargill continue to donate an average of $100,000 per year to approximately 30 local and regional community organizations.
