Since global supplies are very plentiful, export partners can be more stringent about what
they will accept.
Top Flight takes the majority of their grain to market to ADM in Decatur and Tate & Lyle
in Peoria. Many of their elevators outside Logan County have rail access direct to these
locations.
Bramer finished with this forecast: We need moisture here for next year’s crop. Ground
water levels are low. If we don’t get adequate rain and snow during the winter to increase
ground water, we will be starting out at a deficit for the next planting season and that will
affect next year’s crop.
[Topflight operates 19 facilities in Piatt, Macon, Moultrie, Dewitt, Douglas,
Champaign, & Logan counties with a permanent storage capacity of 37 million
bushels of grain. Topflight acquired East Lincoln Farmer’s Grain with elevators at
Atlanta, Lawndale, Krueger, Johnson Siding and Beason in Logan County in 2014.
The Logan County operations are managed by Todd Steinberg, located at the
Kruger elevator.]
