Grain shuttle loading facilities are created so producers can store and market grain at the best economic time.
Rail systems are built into the grain facility so railcars can enter the bin infrastructure and be loaded directly, saving on shipping and loading costs and reducing carbon emissions associated with traditional shipping.
The first grain shuttle loading facility in Wisconsin is in Evansville and is also owned by Landmark Services Cooperative. It was completed in 2002.
As proposed, the Fall River facility will sit on 150 to 250 acres, having the capacity to hold 2.5 to 3.5 million bushels of grain and to market 15 to 25 million bushels of grain annually.
“Being locally owned by our members, our mission is to help the communities we work with to thrive and our producers to remain profitable,” says Bob Carlson, chief executive officer of Landmark Services Cooperative.
“The proposed grain shuttle loading facility in Fall River will be helpful in both of those goals – benefiting producers, members and our communities.”
Landmark Services Cooperative has taken preliminary steps in planning for the Fall River facility.
The cooperative is currently applying for a conditional use permit for building in Fall River. Additional preliminary steps include discussions with community and board members.
