The former Millard Grain wanted to get out of the grain business and focus on fertilizer and agronomy. So the privately held company sold its 1.2-million-bushel steel grain elevator in Avalon, WI (608-754-4673) to Gavilon, LLC in October 2011.
“We were looking for a way to expand our presence in southern Wisconsin,” says Gavilon Location Manager Derek Reed, who has been with the company for eight years, most recently at a barge-loading terminal in Catoosa, OK. “The site here is served by a short-line railroad with good truck access in a large corn-producing area.”
