ROCKPORT — Indiana-based agricultural cooperative Superior Ag has announced the acquisition of the Summit River Terminal near Rockport, and future construction of a 32,000-ton dry fertilizer distribution facility that will feature direct load and direct ship capabilities for local farmers. Construction is anticipated to begin early this year.

“The construction of a dry fertilizer distribution facility on the Ohio River is a significant commitment that we have been carefully considering for several years,” shared Richard Lloyd, president and CEO of Superior Ag.

Located on an 18-acre site, the new Superior Ag Ohio River Terminal will feature 10 large bins, a 600 tons-per-hour barge receiving system capable of unloading one full barge in just three hours and a 300 TPH truck receiving system with the ability to offload one truck in five minutes.

Construction is predicted to take 12-18 months. The total investment in this facility exceeds $20 million.

Currently, Superior Ag has over 2,700 members throughout southwestern Indiana, northern and central Kentucky and the bordering regions of Illinois. To learn more, visit Superior Ag’s website.
