ALCIVIA, a member-owned agricultural and energy cooperative, has announced the completion of several major construction milestones at its cutting-edge train shuttle loading facility in Hager City.
This advanced grain facility is poised to transform grain handling and logistics for farmers and the surrounding community.
The Hager City facility now boasts eight newly completed grain bins capable of storing a total of 3.9 million bushels of grain, alongside two 4,700-bushel-per-hour grain dryers and three 1,500-bushel-capacity dump pits.
These features will enable a combined grain handling speed of 60,000 bushels per hour, significantly reducing long lines and wait times.
Located on 40 acres with Class 1 BNSF rail access, this facility can reach the markets within the BNSF network and it can load shuttles at other locations on the UP and CPKC railroads which provides significant advantages to both domestic and export markets.
Farmers will have access to new markets previously out of reach.
ALCIVIA will be accepting the first grain deliveries this spring.
