Agricultural Supply Company Completes $5M Rebuild and Upgrade in Saline County
What happened
After an EF-2 tornado damaged grain elevators and eight bins in April, Central Missouri AgriService's Slater location in Saline County underwent a strenuous cleanup and rebuilding process. The company completed a restoration exceeding $5 million, replacing eight tall bins with two larger, modern bins. The rebuild is expected to be finished by the end of the year.

Why it matters
The restoration included upgrading receiving and load-out equipment, allowing the facility to hold 300,000 bushels more than the original eight bins. This substantial capital investment increases the capacity of the agricultural supply chain in the region.
