Clarkson Grain Company is a small-to-mid-sized specialty grain and food ingredient producer in the Food and Beverage Manufacturing industry, headquartered in Cerro Gordo, Illinois, with global operations anchored in central Illinois. It supplies Non-GMO, Identity Preserved, and Organic ingredients used in tortillas, soy milk, tofu, miso soup, and related products under customer brands, and it provides lecithins (soy and sunflower) as emulsifiers for products such as infant formulas, ice cream, chocolates, and nutrition bars. The business contracts with qualified Midwest growers to ensure a reliable, high-quality supply for its customers.

To address organic ingredient shortages and expand domestic organic acreage, Clarkson introduced the Certified Transitional program, which allows farmers to earn premiums and sell before full Organic status, supporting both short-term needs and long-term growth for producers and manufacturers. In 2023 the company named Kevin Pray as President and Chief Operating Officer, indicating a leadership transition.
