Business ramps up at HighLine Grain Growers

Loads arrive daily

Posted
BREWSTER – Wheat harvest at the HighLine Grain Growers (HLGG) elevator in Brewster officially got underway on July 20 when the first tractor trailer arrived with its load of golden cargo. Over the next several weeks the Brewster and Mansfield elevators and another 47 like them in the HLGG network scattered across the region from Almira to Withrow will be the ports of call for a variety of grain crops.

Brewster elevator manager Robert Moreno scales the load, dumps the cargo, and logs in the vital statistics for each new arrival as part of his day’s work.

In April 2018, five local grain companies, Central Washington Grain Growers, Odessa Union Warehouse Co., Reardan Grain Growers, Davenport Union Warehouse Co., and Almira Farmers Warehouse Co., combined to form HLGG for the benefit of their member growers.

The new consortium manages and maintains a network of grain and seed handling warehouses in eight Eastern Washington counties along the U.S. Highway 2 corridor from Wenatchee to Spokane.

We provide facilities for commodity storage, a wide selection of top-quality seed, a renowned test-plot program, feed supplies, hardware, blacksmith services, merchandising services for member crop sales, and top-tier access to domestic and export markets,” the company website, highlinegrain.com said.

The website provides a daily commentary on market conditions locally and around the world as part of its information stream to visitors.
