CHS Plans Hub Fertilizer Plant

Farmers Elevator-Eastern Montana Operations, a division of CHS Inc., a Fortune 100 energy, grains and foods company, plans to build a new hub fertilizer plant at the Macon junction east of Wolf Point, MT. After careful consideration and collaboration with management, the local producer board voted unanimously to move forward with the project. Ground-breaking is planned for early spring 2011 followed by an approximate 10-month construction period.

The state-of-the-art facility will combine some 28,000 tons of dry fertilizer storage with a warehouse for bulk chemical and agronomic products. The plant will share the loop track with Farmers Elevator’s current shuttle loader where fertilizer will be brought in via shuttle train units.
