Central Valley Ag (CVA) cooperative announced earlier this month it will build a new grain shuttle facility and agronomy plant in north-central Kansas.
The future Courtland Hub Facility will include a high-speed shuttle loader on a loop track with access to service from BNSF Railway Co. Upon completion, the facility will have onsite storage for 5.5 million bushels, CVA officials said in a press release.
Located in Republic County at the intersection of highways 36 and 199, the automated facility will feature an grading lab for state testing. In addition, the site will include a 3.5-million-gallon liquid fertilizer plant with a chemical and seed warehouse. The plant will be capable of receiving tons by rail or truck, CVA officials said.
Construction on all phases of the site is slated to begin in fall, with the agronomy plant slated for completion in spring 2025 and the grain shuttle facility to be finished by summer 2025.
“This facility will allow us to get access to the best markets for grain as well as enhance our supply chain on liquid fertilizer to meet our member-owners’ needs,” said CVA Chairman Luke Carlson.
