The grain shuttle-loader facility that the company partnered with MFA Incorporated to build near Hamilton, Mo. is on schedule for completion in time for the fall harvest season.
Construction crews have erected four grain bins and are now working on footings and floor slabs for the office that will be onsite. The installation of the rail line that will connect with Union Pacific Railroad’s tracks to ship grain out to domestic and foreign markets is also underway.
Once completed, the grain-handling facility will consist of 2 million bushels of permanent storage, 1.5 million bushels of temporary storage and a loop rail siding to accommodate a 110-railroad-car “shuttle” unit. The facility will enable farmers in north central Missouri and southern Iowa to deliver crops to a modern, high-speed grain facility.
