AgriReNew, Sievers Family Farms was founded in 1873. In 2012, they expanded their beef feedlot capacity to 2400 head with the construction of cutting-edge cattle barns, and subsequently renewable energy systems in 2013. The project represented a means for the fifth-generation farm to increase the sustainability aspects of its business. The farm teamed with OWS and Specialty Concrete Construction to design, build, and commission two 85ft complete mix digesters, digestate processing system, as well as a Caterpillar 3516A+ 1000kW CHP unit.
