The agribusiness company said its grain elevator in Galveston, Texas, however, remained evacuated.

"We will continue working with local authorities to survey damage at our facilities and ensure the safety of our colleagues," the company said in a statement.

ADM was among several grain companies that halted operations at some facilities along the Gulf of Mexico last week as Ike barreled toward the coast. (Reporting by K.T. Arasu)
