Great Lakes region farmers have a new way of getting their commodities to export markets.
After two years of construction, the DeLong Company’s new Agricultural Maritime Export Facility is open at the Port of Milwaukee. Vice President Bo DeLong tells Brownfield the first shipment has reached its destination. “We shipped a small vessel of dry distillers grains made from Wisconsin ethanol plants with corn produced in Wisconsin about three weeks ago, and it just arrived in Ireland this past weekend and they’re unloading it currently.”
Brandon Bickham is DeLong’s Director of Exports, who developed the facility concept.
