🏆 145 Animal Feed Plants — California Leads U.S. 2026 — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. California isn’t just growing more crops or raising more livestock — it’s building the most concentrated feed manufacturing infrastructure in the nation. With 145 facilities, it’s not a coincidence that this state also leads in AI-powered livestock health systems, biotech R&D, and ag data integration. The real innovation isn’t in the barns — it’s in the feed plants, where AI models learn from real-world animal performance data. This is where the future of agtech AI is being trained — not in remote labs, but in the operational heart of the food chain.
