Cleaner Grain Drying:CHS ADDS NEW DRYER AND INCREASES STORAGE CAPACITY TO HANDLE CORN HARVEST

摘要

Originally built in 1980 by Drayton Farmers Coop, and bought by CHS in 1984, CHS' elevator in Drayton, ND originally was constructed to handle the area's wheat crop. As many farmers in northeast North Dakota switched acreage to corn, there was a needfor new equipment and storage to handle the larger fall harvests. This increased corn volume also generated complaints over bees wings.To handle these problems, General Manager Harold Weimer (701-454-3351) says, the elevator in 2013 started a project to add a 3.2-million-bushel flat storage building, a 10,000-bph grain dryer, and increase rail shipping capacity to 80,000 bph.
