New Miles terminal expected up for peak season

Owensboro, Ky.-Miles Farm Supply LLC is in the process of building a new 42,000 st river/unit train terminal on the Ohio River, just west of their existing river terminal in Owensboro. Miles says the state-of-the-art building will consist of nine storage bays for MOP, urea, DAP, TSP, MAP, SOP, and various micronutrients. The new building will more than double current dry storage capacity, plus create the ability to ship blended product from the river. “We are very excited about the increased efficiencies this new facility will provide for us, our customers and partners both now and in the future,” said Debra Seymour, Miles Farm Supply president. “The river, truck and rail access will provide multiple options for product distribution and the expansion will also improve product availability. We have been very pleased with Stueve Construction in building the building and believe the Yargus equipment is state of the art.” The project is expected to be completed by mid-February, just in time for peak demand, with intentions of an open house in July.
