Farmer’s Co-op Society, headquartered at Sioux Center, has announced plans to expand its operations by constructing a grain handling and storage facility in southeast South Dakota. Jen Sawyer serves as the cooperative’s director of marketing and communications. She says the new facility will be built south of Beresford, South Dakota.
Sawyer says the new Union Grove grain facility will be able to scale in, dump, and scale out trucks in under five minutes. She tells the state-of-the art facility’s volume capacity will be more than two million bushels.
The cost of the new grain system is expected to be several million dollars, but Sawyer says the board’s objective is to have an efficient running operation.
The Union Grove FCS facility is expected to accept grain during this fall harvest.
