McCoy Grain Terminal, Rosalia, WA. The partnership covers the lower Columbia River, from The Dalles, Ore., to Arlington, Ore. In Eastern Washington and northern Idaho, it covers from the Snake River to Canada.
The McCoy Grain Terminal in Rosalia, Wash., owned by Pacific Northwest Farmers Cooperative (PNW) and Cooperative Agricultural Producers, Inc., or CoAg, is adding Mid-Columbia Producers, from Moro, Ore., as a partner to its marketing alliance.
Before the partnership, the terminal moved roughly 30 million bushels of wheat, Riedner said. Bringing on Mid-Columbia Producers increases that total to 45 million bushels. Each company contributes roughly 15 million bushels, said Bud Riedner, general manager of the terminal.
Growers will eventually have increased access to domestic markets and export markets to Mexico with the shuttle loader, Riedner said.
