Founded in 2018 by Jackson Kimle and Matthew Ellis, Midland Co. develops, manufactures, and sells turnkey shrimp production systems and supports farmers in growing, marketing, and selling their shrimp. After years of research and development, the company patented its Algae-Based RAS™ technology – an innovative land-based system that uses algae to naturally treat wastewater, creating a cleaner and more sustainable method for producing fresh shrimp far from the coasts.
RAPID EXPANSION OF MIDLAND’S FAMILY-FARM NETWORK
With its technology now fully market-ready, Midland Co. completed construction of three new farms in 2024, all of which are fully operational in 2025. Each is owned and operated by independent farmers under the Midland brand in:
- Hampton, IA
- Washington, IA

The company is preparing for its next growth phase, with three additional farms planned for 2026 in:
