                 Report of Independent Auditors


Administrative Committee
ADM Savings and Investment Plan for Hourly Employees
Decatur, Illinois


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
available for plan benefits of the ADM Savings and Investment
Plan for Hourly Employees (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for plan benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the changes in its net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying
supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes as
of December 31, 1995 and reportable transactions for the year
ended December 31, 1995 are presented for purposes of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, and are not a required part of the
financial statements.  The supplemental schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in
all material respects in relation to the financial statements
taken as a whole.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual
basis.

Investments

Investments are carried at fair value.  Common stocks are valued
at the quoted market price on the last business day of the Plan
year.  Investments in commingled and mutual funds are stated at
the reported net asset value on the last day of the Plan year.
Unallocated funds are invested in a short-term money market
account as deemed appropriate by the trustee.

Plan Expenses

Brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and other charges and
expenses in connection with the purchase or sale of securities
are charged against the trust fund and added to the cost of such
securities, or deducted from the sale proceeds, as the case may
be.  Any remaining costs of administering the plan are currently
paid by ADM and its affiliates.  While it is anticipated that
ADM and its affiliates will continue to pay these costs, the
Plan does permit the reasonable expenses of administering the
Plan to be paid from the trust fund.  There are no charges or
deductions, other than taxes, that may be made against the trust
fund other than those described in this summary.

Plan Year

The Plan year is the twelve month period ending December 31,
corresponding to the tax year of the Company.

2. Description of the Plan

The Plan is a defined contribution plan available to
substantially all hourly employees of the Company who have
completed one year of service.  Under the terms of the Plan,
employees electing to participate can contribute from 1% to 6%
of their current gross cash compensation to the Plan, within
ERISA limitations.  In addition, the Company will match 100% of
the first 2% employee contribution and, for most employees, 50%
of the remaining 4% employee contribution.  All contributions
are received from the Company in the form of Archer Daniels
Midland Company common stock and are fully vested to the
participant.

The full value of an employee's account is payable following
termination of employment.  Withdrawal of shares acquired under
401(k) provisions is subject to hardship restrictions.

All plan assets are held and managed by National City Bank of
Minneapolis (trustee of the Plan).  The trust will continue for
an indefinite period of time as provided by the Plan.


3.   Investments

The Plan's investments are held by a bank administered trust
fund.  During 1995 and 1994, the Plan's investments (including
investments bought, sold, as well as held during the year)
appreciated (depreciated) in fair value as follows:

5.                                         Plan Terminations

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company
has the right to terminate the Plan at any time

6.   Income Tax Status

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal
Revenue Service, dated April 5, 1996 stating that the Plan is
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the "Code").

Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity
with the Code and ERISA to maintain its tax exempt status.  The
administrator is not aware of any course of action or series of
events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's
qualified status.

Distributions of benefits to participants, their estates or
beneficiaries, generally are subject to federal income tax as
either ordinary income or capital gain depending on the event
giving rise to the distribution and the method used.

7.   Merger of Premiere Thrift Savings Plan

The Premiere Thrift Savings Plan, a qualified plan maintained by
Premiere Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, was
merged into this plan and assets transferred in January 1995.
The participants allocated their transferred funds in the Plan's
investment options, except the ADM Stock Fund.  All future
contributions will be invested in the ADM Stock Fund.  However,
the merged Premiere participants have the option to re-allocate
the transferred funds within the other investment options while
they are active participants in the Plan.
