In 1955, Gus and Dell Moore moved their two young sons, Joe and Tim, to rural Resaca, Georgia in hopes of creating a successful career in agriculture. Gus, Dell, Joe, and Tim raised hogs, steer, and chickens. With the added production of corn, wheat, and soybeans, Moore's Seed and Grain Farms, Inc. emerged. Their start-up venture into sales led them to the sale of bagged soybeans to local farmers.
In the fall of 2006, Gus, Joe, Tim, and Andrew decided to add value to their production and created an Expeller press oilseed processing plant. Not only did they provide an opportunity for themselves to produce two extra crops per year, Non-GMO Winter Canola and High Oleic Sunflowers, they created a new market for farmers in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Resaca Sun Products, LLC expanded to its current capacity in May 2008. Currently, Resaca Sun Products, LLC intends to contract 7,000 Acres of Sunflowers and 10,000 acres of Canola during 2011.
Recently in 2011, Resaca Sun Feeds, LLC was established in the hopes of making locally grown and locally produced feed available to farmers and providing them with the opportunity to increase their productivity. The feeds produced by Resaca Sun Feeds, LLC offer all natural protein and fat from Expeller-pressed canola and sunflower meals. Resaca Sun Feeds, LLC can also provide custom mixes for all of their farmers' needs.
