The Ag Processing Inc. (AGP) cooperative late last month held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate its newest soybean processing and degumming facility in David City, Nebraska.
AGP’s 11th soybean processing location, the plant is scheduled to begin commercial operations by the end of this month. Once fully operational, the state-of-the-art facility will be capable of processing over 50 million bushels of soybeans and producing nearly 700 million pounds of degummed oil per annually.
The 273-acre site features 2.5 miles of paved roads and about 13.6 miles of tracks that provide access to Union Pacific Railroad, BNSF Railway Co. the Nebraska Central Railroad Co.
“With the amount of rail track on site, AGP will load a unit train of 110 cars every three to four days," said AGP Chief Operations Officer Lou Rickers in a press release. "We will be able to hold a loaded unit train, receive an empty unit train, and continue to build a third unit train of soybean meal."
In addition, workers at the facility will be able to load and build 110-car unit trains of oil. When rail cars are available, trains will be loaded in two days, Rickers said.
