Nov 06, 2014 at 10:19 AM CST

Attebury Grain, LLC and its affiliate, Rampa, Inc., today announced plans to upgrade its Eastern Texas Panhandle operation to accommodate shuttles and unit trains via the BNSF Railway. The project focuses on meeting producer and consumer needs by constructing additional storage capacity and sufficient rail capacity to load and unload 120 railcars in 10 hours; as well as equipment to load and unload 75 trucks per hour.

“Attebury and Rampa look forward to providing our producers, end users, and export partners with significant efficiency improvements by more effectively handling inbound and outbound agricultural products,” said Benjamin Smith, Managing Director of Attebury Grain, LLC.

“The additional infrastructure will benefit local producers by furnishing access to new markets. It will also provide local consumers with access to competitive inputs. This project is a win-win for agriculture in the Texas Panhandle.” Construction is expected to be complete in time to handle the 2015 wheat harvest.

The Pampa Economic Development Corporation (PEDC) and its affiliate, The Pampa Energy Center (PEC), leased 40 acres and the West Loop Track to Rampa. The PEC encompasses more than 4,000 acres and leases property to Enbridge Energy, Flogistix, LP, and G2X Pampa Fuels. “Rampa appreciates the full support of PEC, PEDC, the City of Pampa and Gray County. The PEC staff and Board of Directors worked to meet our needs during every stage of the project. In addition, we are proud to expand our historic presence in the region with this multi-million dollar investment that will expand the area workforce,” said Peter Boyce, President of Rampa, Inc.

The Rampa facility is located at the Pampa Energy Center, 11445 County Road J, Pampa, Texas. For additional information, please call Kirk Folkner, Market Strategist, at 806-881-0609. Additional location information can be found on the company’s website at www.attebury.com.
