Today the Soy Transportation Coalition visited TEMCO, a partnership between Cargill and CHS, in Tacoma, Wash. The facility in Tacoma moves 230 million bushels per year, 25 percent of which is soybeans.

The port facility is unique in that it features a first-of-its-kind “rain roof” that allows loading in any weather, which comes in handy in Washington. At this port, soybeans from the Midwest are primarily transported to soybean crushers in China.
