Construction of a new 565,000 steel grain bin at the AGRIS Co-operative Stoney Point location was formally announced recently by AGRIS Co-operative Ltd. board president, Larry Pajot.
Construction of the new steel grain bin, receiving pit and legs is expected to start immediately with completion expected early this September and in time for fall harvest.
The more than $3 million investment by AGRIS will significantly improve unloading times and storage capacity for the co-operatives member-owners and customers in the Stoney Point area. The initiative will increase intake capacity to 25,000 bushels an hour and overall storage will increase to 1.6 MM bushels.
Pajot told owners that the investment by AGRIS Co-operative will help strengthen its farmer owners’ ability to deliver their crops more efficiently and take better advantage of marketing opportunities through its grain partner, Great Lakes Grain.
