Nebraska’s Schuyler Cooperative Association reported that it has completed its $7 million new dry fertilizer facility in Richland, Neb. Cooperative members got to see the new facility at an open house at the annual fish fry last month.
Schuyler told The Columbus Telegram that the new facility is “cutting edge” and will allow it to add biologicals, nitrogen inhibitors, and phosphate impregnation to its offerings, with a better blending system for both truck and rail pickups. Automation will allow the facility to be a two-man operation.
Schuyler will retain its older 2,000 st facility, with combined storage now put at some 10,000 st. Schuyler noted that the facility was already paid for and its addition should have no negative impact on dividends going forward.
