CPI Cooperative in Nebraska is expanding facilities to handle increased crop volumes from its farmer-owners.

CPI Cooperative is expanding its facilities in Nebraska to handle increasing volumes of grain from its farmer-owners. The cooperative was founded in 1906 when farmers pooled money to build a grain elevator, allowing them to store and sell grain from their fields.

Today, farmers are producing more crops per acre and harvesting faster than ever, according to CEO Gary Brandt. Farmers are motivated to bring crops in quickly because of the financial risk of leaving grain in the field. To meet this demand, CPI Cooperative is building larger elevators and adding more dump stations where farmers can unload trucks.

Brandt said the cooperative's expansion reflects the needs of its farmer-owners. 'Because our farmers are smart and progressive and they're doing more, we had to grow to meet their needs,' he said. The cooperative is constructing facilities to allow farmers to deliver grain efficiently and return to their fields for the next load.
