CHS Inc. and MKC yesterday announced plans to build and operate a grain shuttle loader near Sterling, Kansas.
Located in Rice County, the facility will include a high-speed shuttle loader with access to rail on the Kansas & Oklahoma Railroad, a subsidiary of Watco. Upon completion, on-site storage will total about 5.2 million bushels.
CHS is an energy, grains and food company; MKC is a farm cooperative offering a range of products, programs and services across Kansas.
The Rice County facility will be the third rail terminal developed jointly by CHS and MKC.
"We are excited to once again make a strategic local investment with our cooperative partners at CHS. Investments such as this rail terminal expand the cooperative system’s ability to deliver our farmer’s grain to various parts of the world, returning greater value to local farmers and local communities," said MKC CEO Brad Stedman in a press release.
The facility will operate as a limited liability company owned by CHS and MKC. The LLC operates two additional high-speed shuttle loading facilities in Canton and Milan, Kansas.
