Steel Tank Annex:NORTH DAKOTA COOP GETS MORE OF ITS CROP UNDER ROOF

摘要

It's not every day that a relatively small farmer-owned cooperative spends $12 million to build a storage annex, but the general manager at Fullerton Farmers Elevator in Fullerton, ND thinks it was worth it."We've always found ourselves piling too much grain on the ground," says Andrew Hager Jr., a 37-year grain industry veteran. "We worked with our banker to make some projections, and this penciled out."The all-steel facility built in 2014 includes two huge GSI 1.2-million-bushel tanks, two new enclosed receiving pits and legs, and related grain handling equipment.After taking bids on the project, Fullerton Farmers hired Kava Construction, Inc., Fargo, ND (701-282-5583), as general contractor and millwright.
