Central Valley Ag (CVA) cooperative, with its unyielding commitment to member-owners, is set to establish an advanced grain shuttle and agronomy facility in Kansas. This initiative embodies CVA’s core mission to consistently offer value to its members and future farmers.
The new facility, termed the Courtland Hub Facility, will be positioned at the crossroads of Highway 36 and Highway 199 in Republic County. This site offers strategic rail access on the BNSF Railroad. Its notable features include a high-speed shuttle loader on a loop track and an estimated on-site storage capacity of around 5.5 million bushels.
CVA’s commitment to excellence is evident. The grain storage facility will feature automation, a state-of-the-art grading lab, and paramount safety features for the community, employees, and farmers. A 3.5-million-gallon liquid fertilizer plant and a warehouse for seeds and chemicals are included in the blueprint. This fertilizer facility can receive stock both by rail or truck.
Luke Carlson, CVA Board Chairman, emphasized that the cooperative consistently strategizes to meet future demands. The Courtland Hub Facility will grant CVA access to top-tier grain markets and refine its liquid fertilizer supply chain to cater to its members.
The construction phases are scheduled to commence this fall. The agronomy plant is projected for completion by spring 2025, with the grain shuttle facility ready by summer 2025.
