Gavilon Grain's new 800,000-bushel grain elevator goes up on the southwest edge of Benkelman, Nebraska. The site of the new elevator includes an additional 4 million bushels of bunker storage capacity and a new state-of-the-art, 110-car Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad shuttle facility that will allow trucks to unload 60,000 bushels of grain per hour. The Benkelman facility is the Omaha, Nebraska company's ninth grain elevator in Nebraska, and is expected to be completed and ready for this year's wheat harvest.

  • Gavilon Grain is a George Soros backed grain commodities trading giant. They are the third largest grain trader behind ADM and Cargill. George Soros is the billionaire financier who has been trying to influence US elections for years. He is in full support of all the liberal ideas that are designed to weaken US influence throughout the world.

    I can only hope area farmers realize this before trading with this anti-USA company.
