USA: The Minnesota-based Cargill is considering options to sell its Sheboygan food processing plant. According to Cargill Malt President Doug Eden, the facility was designed as a malting plant, but could be used for other industrial purposes if sold to another company. The facility includes 10 acres, three-story office building, two warehouses with 18,000 square feet of space and three grain elevators that can store other commodities. Eden says the current facility potentially could also be converted to an ethanol production plant. The Sheboygan plant is positioned on the Sheboygan River with off-loading railroad tracks and direct access to rail lines, as well as a loading dock for truck transport.
