GROWMARK Facilities Planning and Logistics

Chuck Zimmerman

Here’s the latest installment of our “Getting To Know GROWMARK” series. We’re going to talk about facilities planning and logistics with Tom Nealey, Facility Planning/Certified Grain Systems Specialist. He says they touch many parts of the company from an equipment standpoint. That includes fuel and propane delivery trucks. Also included are national account programs for members for equipment, vehicles and grain handling systems. There is a construction group to build elevators and an engineering department.

Tom says there are two parts to what they do for members that includes on-farm bins with full support and commercial construction for elevators. They have several of these projects in progress right now. He says they’re very busy this season. When it comes to facilities production they really cover the full process from design to construction. Although most of their work is for members they also bid on non-member work projects too. Safety and training are very important in this area and the company conducts on-going training support for members and customers.
