Farmers delivering corn and soybeans to the new CHS elevator in Herman, Minn., won’t be lining up their trucks and waiting to unload their crop. CHS has built the first-ever totally automated elevator. With 1.4 million bushels of upright storage and three dump pits, the elevator is capable of receiving grain at 75,000 bushels per hour. To use the facility, co-op farmers will receive orientation on how to use it and RFID cards to enter. They also will need to outfit trucks with grain trailer ID tags.
