The new 32,000\u2011ton dry fertilizer distribution facility represents a multimillion\u2011dollar investment in Spencer County aimed at better serving farmers in southwestern Indiana, northern and central Kentucky, and bordering Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur construction marks a significant step forward in delivering efficient, high\u2011capacity service to our farmers,\u201d said Richard Lloyd, president and CEO. \u201cThis investment underscores our cooperative\u2019s commitment to growth and innovation and supports agricultural productivity now and into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Key features will be:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>10\u202flarge bins for diverse fertilizer segregation<\/li>\n<li>600\u202fTPH barge receiver (full barge in ~3 hours)<\/li>\n<li>300\u202fTPH truck receiver (truck off\u2011load in ~5 minutes)<\/li>\n<li>300\u202fTPH blend &amp; ship capability (25\u2011ton load in ~5 minutes)<\/li>\n<li>Automated treatment systems for stabilizers, micronutrients, dust control<\/li>\n<li>Expected throughput: 30\u201335 barges\/year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Construction is projected to span 12\u201318 months, with full operation targeted for late 2026.
