Central Valley Ag (CVA), York, Neb., a farmer-owned cooperative with locations in Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska, has announced a $4 million expansion at its agronomy plant located north of Linn, Kan. Construction on the plant is set to commence in fall 2024, with completion expected in spring 2025.
“We are excited to embark on this expansion journey with the addition of our agronomy plant at The Junction,” said Nic McCarthy, CVA Senior Vice President, Agronomy. “This investment reaffirms our dedication to our member-owners and underscores our commitment to providing them with the best resources available to enhance their farming operations.”
Built in 2018, The Junction features a 3.4-million-bushel upright grain storage capacity alongside 1.5 million bushels of bunker storage. In 2019, CVA said The Junction expanded its offerings with the addition of 90,000 gallons of ammonia storage capacity. It added a clear diesel fueling site in 2023.
CVA said the agronomy plant will feature cutting-edge facilities for the storage and distribution of essential agricultural inputs, including liquid fertilizer, bulk and package chemical storage, as well as seed storage and treatment services. It said the additions will allow the cooperative to streamline its operations, optimize logistics, and enhance efficiency.
CVA said the expanded facility will not only bolster operational capacity but also position it as a key hub for agricultural innovation and support in the region. It will consolidate essential agronomy services under one roof, with the cooperative aiming to simplify the procurement process for farmers while ensuring the highest standards of quality and service.
