High-Yield Oasis:MINNESOTA COOP BOOSTS STORAGE, HANDLING, DRYING CAPACITY AT BRANCH ELEVATOR

摘要

The region of southeastern Minnesota has an unusual distinction in 2012. As of late August, it was one of the few areas of the Midwest anticipating above-average grain yields, while most of the rest of the middle of the country was ravaged by drought.That is making Todd Stockdale, regional operations manager for All American Cooperative, very glad to have a brand new million-bushel corrugated steel tank at the company's Elgin, MN site (507-876-2222). The new GSI tank is part of a larger project thatalso included construction of a 140,000-bushel GSI wet tank, 7,000-bph Zimmerman grain dryer, and two new receiving pits feeding a pair of 20,000-bph S-M legs.
