Beck’s has unveiled a 10-story soybean tower that can process three million bushels a year.
Tom Hooper, director of business, says it will take 60,000 soybean production acres to run at full capacity, which is about 150 semi-trailer loads of soybeans each week.
“It has the capacity to process 24,000 units of soybeans everyday with a capacity closer to 30,000 when it’s fine-tuned,” he says. “It has cutting-edge technology when it comes to treating equipment, quality production packaging with robotic automation, and a lot of really cool things.”
He tells Brownfield the new facility will benefit growers.
