About 1900
Rooted in Hankamer, Texas, the 1900 story began when Euell Lester Moor first tilled the fertile soil in 1900 with a plow and 12 yoke of oxen. Euell started small – with just under 300 acres of rice, but those inaugural grains started a family legacy spanning four generations.
Today, what began as one man’s humble dream has become a sprawling 16,000-acre operation run by Euell’s great-grandson, Halley Ray Moor Jr. and wife Abby Renee Barrow.
The same land, cultivated through perseverance and grit, is now home to 1900 Feed’s state-of-the-art feed mill. Locally sourced ingredients grown directly by us, right here in our backyard, are a staple in the feeds that we produce.
Though the world has certainly changed since 1900, one thing remains constant – the Moor family’s commitment to the land and sustainable farming practices they first received from Euell. Under the leadership of Halley and Abby, sustainability and conservation steer our principles. If Euell were still walking the acres he first tilled back in those early days, he would be proud to find innovative soil and water conservation techniques still anchoring operations on the farm.
When Halley decided to build an animal feed mill to complement the family rice production, christening it “1900 Feed” was an iconic and emotional day that will not be soon forgotten. Halley and Abby want customers to feel the pride, sacrifice, and passion that goes into every grain. Our unwavering commitment to excellence has been the driving force behind the continuous improvement in the quality of our feeds, making 1900 Feed a renowned producer of premium feed known for its exceptional flavor, texture, and aroma.
1900 Feed is a tribute to a heritage achieved through Texas grit, a nod to those who came before us and paved the way, and a promise to those who will come after us.
Overcoming adversity is a daily way of life for this family. If you are not focused and driven, you will not make it very long in the rice and feed business. Yet, here we are, thriving, 123 years later.
The legacy that Euell initiated so long ago still flourishes through our commitment to our customers who have chosen to do business with 1900 Feed. Please follow along with us as we write the next chapter of our love story. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for all of your love and support.
