Frenchman Valley Coop’s new two-million bushel flat storage facility at their receiving station just east of Grant is now complete and ready for the fall corn harvest. FVC hosted an open house at the facility Friday. The building has a conveyor delivery system just below the truss roof that moves grain from the leg into the facility. The metal shielding atop the concrete walls allows for higher peaking of the pile, which increases the storage capacity. A conveyor belt system in a tunnel underneath the concrete floor runs the length of the building. Drop chutes can be opened all along the center of the floor to remove grain. The dump pit holds 1,000 bushels and the leg can move up to 20,000 bushels per hour.
