Currently, the Cayuga Mine employs more than 200 full-time employees in operations, maintenance, engineering, finance, management and support positions.

Cargill commits $243,000 to Ducks Unlimited for New York wetland conservation

"Cargill has given us a tremendous opportunity to launch several new important habitat restoration projects in the area that would have otherwise not been possible.
