Plant to Begin Operations Next Week at Local Facility
Williams Rohrer states the facility will load bins directly into farm trucks or spreader trucks, with six to nine ton trucks filled in under five minutes. Weight tickets will be punched electrically to reduce human error, and the plant Nin is expected to be in operation in about a week.
