For many years, bushels brought to the cooperative only had one choice to get closer to the end-user, which was by truck. Today, that journey includes two high-speed train loaders at MKC, creating more success for the cooperative to pass through to its member-owners. The terminal accepts canola, wheat, corn, soybeans and milo. Producer Ag LLC, a joint venture between MKC, CHS and Team Marketing Alliance, opened in Canton in December 2014, with the Sumner County Terminal opening in 2017. Under the operation of MKC, the two rail loading terminals are located at Milan, KS, and Canton, KS. Between the two facilities, there is a combined total of 18.1 million bushels of storage. The terminals have handled wheat, corn, soybeans, sorghum and canola.
Grain To maximize grain volume, especially during the busiest times like wheat harvest and fall crop harvest, Producer Ag routes incoming and outcoming trucks into two lanes of traffic, with equipment to match. Trucks are sampled with a pair of side-by-side probes, and processed using RFID tag readers for truck identification. An entire team is at the location to set-up accounts, sell grain, dump trucks and more. Energy MKC operates one of the top professional energy departments in the state of Kansas and is dedicated to the success of our customers' operations. Our energy consultants have the expertise and experience to recommend and provide top quality products for the intended application of our customer. Risk Management We believe in helping producers manage their risk by combining educated crop insurance decisions with customized grain marketing strategies. In order to manage risk in the constantly changing market, field marketers must look at each and every farm individually to create a profitable risk management plan personalized to each producer.
