ADM Profits Down



Profits are down at Archer Daniels Midland. The Decatur company says its fiscal first-quarter profit dropped 60 percent.  ADM brought in 182-million dollars for the first quarter, which ended September 30th.  That's down from 460-million during the same time last year.  Company officials say their decision to sell the Mexican food company Gruma is part of the reason profits are low.
