PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

(a) General Development of Business

Archer Daniels Midland Company was incorporated in
Delaware in 1923, successor to the Daniels Linseed
Co. founded in 1902.

During the last five years, the Company has
experienced significant growth, spending
approximately $3.3 billion for construction of new
plants, expansions of existing plants and the
acquisitions of plants and transportation equipment.
There have been no significant dispositions during
this period.

(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments

The Company is in one business segment--procuring,
transporting, storing, processing and merchandising
agricultural commodities and products.

(c) Narrative Description of Business

(i) Principal products produced and principal markets
for and methods of distribution of such products

The Company is engaged in the business of
procuring, transporting, storing, processing and
merchandising agricultural commodities and
products. It is one of the world's largest
processors of oilseeds, corn and wheat. The
Company also processes rice, milo, oats, barley,
peanuts and cane sugar. Other operations include
transporting, merchandising and storing
agricultural commodities and products. These
operations and processes produce products which
have primarily two end uses, either food or feed
ingredients. Each commodity processed is in
itself a feed ingredient as are the by-products
produced during the processing of each commodity.

Production processes of all commodities are
capital intensive and similar in nature. These
processes involve grinding, crushing or milling
with further value added through extraction,
refining and fermenting. Generally, each
commodity can be processed by any of these
methods to generate additional value added
products. All commodities and related processed
products share the same network of commodity
procurement facilities, transportation services
(including rail, barge, truck and ocean vessels)
and storage facilities.
2


PAGE 3
The geographic areas, customers and marketing
methods are basically the same for all
commodities and their related further processed
products. Feed ingredient products and by-
products are sold to farmers, feed dealers and
livestock producers, all of which can and will
purchase products from across the entire
commodity chain. Food ingredient products are
also sold to one basic group of customers, food
processors. Any single customer may purchase
products produced from all commodities and any
single food or feed product could include
ingredients produced from all commodities we
process.

Oilseed Products

Soybeans, cottonseed, sunflower seeds, canola,
peanuts, flaxseed and corn germ are processed to
provide vegetable oils and meals principally for the
food and feed industries. Crude vegetable oil is
sold as is or is further processed by refining and
hydrogenating into margarine, shortening, salad oils
and other food products. Partially refined oil is
sold for use in chemicals, paints and other
industrial products. Lecithin, an emulsifier
produced in the vegetable oil refining process, is
marketed as a food and feed ingredient.

Oilseed meals supply more than one-half of the high
protein ingredients used in the domestic manufacture
of commercial livestock and poultry feeds. Soybean
meal is further processed into soy flour and grits,
used in both food and industrial products, and into
value-added soy protein products. Textured
vegetable protein (TVP R), a soy protein product
developed by the Company, is sold primarily to the
institutional food market and, through others, to
the food consumer market. The Company also produces
a wide range of other edible soy protein products
including isolated soy protein, soy protein
concentrate, soy-based milk products, soy flours and
vegetable patties (Harvest Burgers R). The Company
produces and markets a wide range of consumer and
institutional health foods based on the Company's
various soy protein products.

Corn Products

The Company is engaged in dry milling and wet milling
corn operations. Products produced for use by the
food and beverage industry include syrup, starch,
glucose, dextrose, crystalline dextrose, high
fructose sweeteners, crystalline fructose and grits.
Corn gluten feed and distillers grains are produced
for use as feed ingredients. Ethyl alcohol is
produced to beverage grade or for industrial use as
ethanol. Ethanol is used to increase octane, and as
an extender and oxygenate in gasoline. Corn germ, a
byproduct of the milling process, is further
processed as an oilseed.
3
PAGE 4
ITEM 1. BUSINESS--Continued

The Company produces by fermentation, from dextrose,
citric and lactic acids, feed-grade amino acids and
vitamins, lactates, sorbitol, monosodium glutamate,
nematodes and food emulsifiers principally for the
food and feed industries.

Wheat and Other Milled Products

Wheat flour is sold primarily to large bakeries,
durum flour is sold to pasta manufacturers and
bulgur, a gelatinized wheat food, is sold to both
the export and the domestic food markets. Masa corn
flour is sold primarily to specialty food producers
to be used in the production of tortillas, taco
shells and tortilla chips.

The Company mills long, medium and short grain rice
and mills oats into oat bran and oat flour for
institutional and consumer food customers. The
Company also mills milo to produce industrial flour
that is used in the manufacturing of wall board for
the building industry.

Other Products and Services

The Company buys, stores and cleans agricultural
commodities, such as corn, wheat, soybeans, canola,
milo, sunflower seeds, rice, oats and barley, for
resale to other processors worldwide.

The Company produces and distributes formula feeds
and animal health and nutrition products to the
livestock, dairy and poultry industries. Many of
the feed ingredients and health and nutrition
products can be, and in many cases are, produced in
our other commodity processing operations.

The Company produces bakery products and mixes which
are sold to the baking industry.

The Company produces spaghetti, noodles, macaroni,
and other consumer food products. The Company also
produces lettuce, other fresh vegetables and herbs
in its hydroponic greenhouse.

Malt products are produced for use by the food and
beverage industries.

The Company produces from cane sugar granulated and
liquid refined sugars principally for the food and
beverage industries.

PAGE 5
Item 1. BUSINESS--Continued

Hickory Point Bank and Trust Co. furnishes public
banking services, except commercial loans, as well
as cash management and securities safekeeping
services for the Company.

Agrinational Insurance Company and Agrinational Ltd.,
Vermont and Cayman Island subsidiaries,
respectively, act as direct insurers and reinsurers
of a portion of the Company's domestic and foreign
property and casualty insurance risks.

Alfred C. Toepfer International (Germany) and
affiliates, of which the Company has a 50% interest,
is one of the world's largest, most respected
trading companies specializing in processed
agricultural products. Toepfer has thirty-nine
sales offices worldwide. Compagnie Industrielle et
Financiere des Produits Amylaces SA (Luxembourg) and
affiliates, of which the Company has a 41.5%
interest, owns European agricultural processing
plants that are primarily engaged in corn wet
milling and wheat starch production.

The Company, through its partnership with Gold Kist,
Inc. and Alimenta Processing Corporation d/b/a
Golden Peanut Company, is a major supplier of
peanuts to both the domestic and export markets.
These peanuts are used in peanut butter, snacks,
cereals and many other foods.

The percentage of net sales and other operating
income by classes of products and services for the
last three fiscal years were as follows:
1994 1993 1992

Oilseed products 50% 50% 51%
Corn products 26 28 29
Wheat and other
milled products 13 13 10
Other products and services 11 9 10

100% 100% 100%
Methods of Distribution

Since the Company's customers are principally other
manufacturers and processors, its products are
distributed mainly in bulk from processing plants or
storage facilities directly to the customers'
facilities. The Company owns a large number of
trucks and trailers and owns or leases large numbers
of railroad tank cars and hopper cars to augment
those provided by the railroads. The Company uses
the inland waterway system and functions as a
contract carrier of commodities for its own
operations as well as for other companies.
5
PAGE 6
Item 1. BUSINESS--continued

The Company owns, leases or manages under operating
agreements approximately 1,900 river barges and 25
line-haul towboats.

(ii) Status of new products

The Company continues to expand its bioproducts.
The Company is currently producing, from
dextrose, the feed-grade amino acids lysine and
threonine, and expects to be producing
tryptophan during the coming year. The Company
has entered the vitamin market with the
production of riboflavin and biotin, and is
currently expanding production facilities to
produce vitamins C and E. The Company is also
producing, from dextrose fermentation, citric
acid, monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lactic
acid and is scheduled to begin to produce, in
the next year, the food additive, xanthan gum.

(iii) Source and availability of raw materials

Substantially all of the Company's raw materials
are agricultural commodities. In any single
year, the availability and price of these
commodities are subject to wide fluctuations
due to unpredictable factors such as weather,
plantings, government (domestic and foreign)
farm programs and policies, changes in global
demand created by population growth and higher
standards of living and worldwide production of
similar and competitive crops. The Company
follows a policy of hedging commodity
transactions, including certain anticipated
production requirements, to minimize price risk
due to market fluctuations and risk of crop
failure.

(iv) Patents, trademarks and licenses

The Company owns several valuable patents,
trademarks and licenses but does not consider
its business dependent upon any single or group
of patents, trademarks and licenses.




(v) Extent to which business is seasonal

Since the Company is so widely diversified in
global agribusiness markets, there are no
material seasonal fluctuations in the
manufacture, sale and distribution of its
products and services. There is a degree of
seasonality in the growing season and
procurement of the Company's principal raw
materials, oilseeds, wheat, corn and other
grains. However, the actual physical movement
of the millions of bushels of these crops
through the Company's storage and processing
facilities is reasonably constant throughout
the year. The worldwide need for food is not
seasonal and is ever expanding as is the
world's population.
6
PAGE 7
Item 1. BUSINESS--Continued

(vi) Working capital items

Price variations and availability of grain at
harvest often cause wide fluctuations in the
Company's inventories and short-term borrowings.

(vii) Dependence on single customer

No material part of the Company's business is
dependent upon a single customer or very few
customers.

(viii) Amount of backlog

Because of the nature of the Company's business,
the backlog of orders at year end is not a
significant indication of the Company's activity
for the current or upcoming year.

(ix) Business subject to renegotiation

The Company has no business with the government
that is subject to renegotiation.

(x) Competitive conditions

Markets for the Company's products are highly
competitive and sensitive to product
substitution. No single company competes with
the Company in all of its markets; however, a
number of large companies compete in one or more
markets. Major competitors in one or more
markets include, but are not limited to,
Cargill, Inc., ConAgra, Inc., CPC International,
Eridania Beghin-Say and Tate & Lyle.

(xi) Research and development expenditures

Practically all of the Company's technical
efforts and expenditures are concerned with food
and feed ingredient products. Special efforts
are being made to find improvements in food
technology to alleviate the protein malnutrition
throughout the world, utilizing the three
largest United States crops-wheat, soybeans and
corn.

The need to successfully market new or improved
food and feed ingredients developed in the
Company's research laboratories led to the
concept of technical support. The Company is
staffed with technical representatives who work
closely with customers and potential customers
on the development of food and feed products
which incorporate Company produced ingredients.
7

PAGE 8
Item 1. BUSINESS--Continued

These technical representatives are an adjunct to
both the research and sales functions.

The Company maintains a research laboratory in
Decatur, Illinois where product and process
development activities are conducted. Enzyme
development and production are an important part
of these activities. Protein research is
conducted at facilities in Decatur where meat
and dairy pilot plants support application
research. Research to support sales and product
development for bakery products is done at a
laboratory in Olathe, Kansas. Additional
research activities are conducted at the
Decatur, Indiana feed research facility and at
the British Arkady plant in Manchester, England.

The amount spent during the three years ended
June 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992 for such technical
efforts were approximately $20.1, $14.8, and
$14.6 million, respectively. In addition, the
Company maintains separate quality control
departments which are supervised by research
personnel.

(xii) Material effects of capital expenditures for
environmental protection

During 1994, $22 million was spent for equipment,
facilities and programs for pollution control
and compliance with the requirements of various
environmental agencies.

There have been no material effects upon the
earnings and competitive position of the Company
resulting from compliance with federal, state
and local laws or regulations enacted or adopted
relating to the protection of the environment.

The Company expects that expenditures for
environmental facilities and programs will
continue at approximately the present rate with
no unusual amounts anticipated for the next two
years.

(xiii) Number of employees

The number of persons employed by the Company was
16,013 at June 30, 1994.
Item 1. BUSINESS--Continued

(d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic
Operations and Export Sales

The Company's foreign operations are principally in
developed countries and do not entail any undue or
unusual business risks. Geographic financial
information is set forth in Note 9 to the audited
financial statements included in the Company's 1994
Annual Report to Shareholders.

Export sales by classes of products for the last
three fiscal years were as follows:

1994 1993 1992

Oilseed products 5% 5% 5%
Corn products 6% 6 7

Item 2. PROPERTIES

(a) Processing Facilities

The Company has one hundred sixty-three processing plants
in the United States of which one hundred fifty-six are
owned and the balance are leased. The Company also owns
or has a 50% or greater ownership interest in fifty-four
foreign processing plants. The Company's operations are
such that most products are efficiently processed near
the source of raw materials. Consequently, the Company
has many plants located strategically in grain producing
areas. The annual volume processed will vary depending
upon availability of raw material and demand for the
finished products.

The Company operates thirty-five domestic and seven
foreign oilseed crushing plants with a daily processing
capacity of approximately 73,000 tons. The domestic
plants are located in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota,
Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio,
South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. The foreign plants
are located in Canada, England, Germany and the
Netherlands.

The Company operates four wet corn milling and two dry
corn milling plants with a daily grind capacity of
approximately 1,590,000 bushels. These plants and other
related properties, including corn germ extraction and
corn gluten pellet plants, are located in Illinois,
Iowa, New York, North Dakota and Texas. The Company
also has interests, through joint ventures, in corn
milling plants in Mexico, Bulgaria, Hungary and
Slovakia.

The Company operates twenty-nine domestic wheat and
durum flour mills, a domestic bulgur plant, six Canadian
flour mills and one Mexican flour mill with a total
daily capacity of approximately 355,000 cwt. of flour.
The Company also operates six corn flour mills, three
rice mills, two milo mills, two pasta plants and four
starch and gluten plants. These plants and other related
properties are strategically located across North
America in California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New
York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin,
Canada and Mexico.

The Company operates ten domestic oilseed refineries in
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Georgia, Nebraska, Tennessee
and Texas as well as five foreign refineries in Canada,
Germany and the Netherlands. The Company produces
packaged oils in Illinois, California and Germany and
soy protein specialty products in Illinois, England, and
the Netherlands. Lecithin products are produced in
Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Germany and the Netherlands.
11
PAGE 12
The Company produces feed and food additives at seven
bioproduct plants located in Illinois, North Carolina
and Ireland. The Company also operates formula feed,
animal health and nutrition and pet food plants in
Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Washington, Wisconsin, Vermont, England and Ireland.

The Company operates five North American barley malting
plants located in Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Canada plus a cane sugar refinery in Louisiana.

The Company operates various other food ingredient
plants in Iowa, Kansas, Washington, England, France,
Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain.

(b) Procurement Facilities

The Company operates one hundred sixty-nine domestic
terminal, country and river elevators covering the
Midwest, West and South Central states, including one
hundred-thirteen country elevators and fifty-six
terminal and river loading facilities including three
grain export elevators in Louisiana. Elevators are
located in Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana,
Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina,
Tennessee and Texas. Domestic grain terminals,
elevators and processing plants have an aggregate
storage capacity of approximately 355,000,000 bushels.
The Company also operates ten foreign grain elevators in
Canada, Ireland and Germany. Thirteen cotton gins are
located in Texas and serve the cottonseed crushing
plants in that area.
12
PAGE 13
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In 1993, the State of Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency brought administrative enforcement proceedings
arising out of the Company's failure to obtain permits
for certain pollution control equipment at certain of
the Company's processing facilities in Illinois. The
Company believes it has meritorious defenses. While the
Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount of the
sanctions which may be imposed in these matters, in
management's opinion, they will not, either individually
or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.

The Company is involved in approximately 20
administrative and judicial proceedings in which it has
been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP)
under the federal Superfund law and its state analogs
for the study and clean-up of sites contaminated by
material discharged into the environment. In all of
these matters, there are numerous PRP's. Due to various
factors such as the required level of remediation and
participation in the clean-up effort by others, the
Company's future clean-up at these sites cannot be
reasonably estimated. However, in management's opinion,
these proceedings will not, either individually or in
the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

The Company from time to time, in the ordinary course of
business, is named as a defendant in various lawsuits.
In management's opinion, the gross liability from
litigation, including environmental exposure, with or
without insurance recoveries is not considered to be
material to the Company's financial condition or results
of operations.
