<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">CHICAGO, March&nbsp;25, 2019&#151;Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM) released the following statement today: </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Extreme winter weather has affected our first quarter North American operations beyond what we would experience in a typical winter. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;In March, powerful snow and rain storms early in the month and resulting flooding and its after-effects are affecting both Carbohydrates Solutions and
Origination operations. Rail transportation has been disrupted throughout the region; our corn processing complex in Columbus, Nebraska, was idled due to flooding and currently is running at reduced rates; and unfavorable river conditions since
December are severely limiting barge transportation movements and port activities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Earlier in the quarter, severe cold temperatures and snowstorms
affected some of our Carbohydrate Solutions processing facilities in the Midwest. The extreme weather reduced corn processing volumes principally due to a slowdown in rail and truck transportation, which affected both inbound and outbound shipments.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We continue to assess the situation, and utilize our transportation and operating network as much as possible to meet customer needs. Taken
together, we expect these severe weather disruptions to have a negative <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-tax</FONT> operating profit impact to ADM of $50&nbsp;million to $60&nbsp;million for the first quarter. That impact will be roughly equal
between Carbohydrate Solutions and Origination, with some minor impacts to our other segments. We will have a further update on our first quarter 2019 earnings call, with an assessment of full year impacts, including recoveries and offsets. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;This is a difficult time for many communities in which we operate. Last week, we announced a $100,000 donation to the American Red Cross to provide
disaster relief in areas affected by the recent flooding. The safety and well-being of the people in the affected areas is always our top priority, and we will continue to work directly as well as through third parties to assist people and
communities that have been affected by severe weather.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Forward-Looking Statements </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Some of the above statements constitute forward-looking statements. ADM&#146;s filings with the SEC provide detailed information on such statements and risks,
and should be consulted along with this release. To the extent permitted under applicable law, ADM assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. </P>
