Maumee, Ohio — The Andersons Inc. announced Aug. 27 that its newly constructed 3.8 million bushel elevator in Custer County, Neb., will be open for the 2012 harvest. "Opening the largest elevator in Custer County, with both train and truck loading capabilities, puts us in a great position to serve the local agricultural community," says CEO Mike Anderson. "While we realize this year’s crop is challenged due to the drought, we believe the accessibility we provide to a variety of outlets, as well as our many services, will provide added value to area farmers during this year and well into the future." Located on the Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railway, this is the first elevator The Andersons has constructed in Nebraska. With the addition of this elevator, near the communities of Anselmo and Broken Bow, The Andersons Grain Group now has capacity of nearly 113 million bushels throughout Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Nebraska.
