Archer Daniels Midland

Decatur, Illinois-based Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) is one of the world's largest agricultural conglomerates, with its share of controversy around environmental and other issues. Operating 270+ facilities world-wide, ADM is in the business of agricultural processing, storage and transportation. It is also rapidly moving into biofuel production, particularly ethanol and biodiesel -- a development that led Corporate Accountability International to induct ADM into its 2008 Corporate Hall of Shame.
