Arlington elevator preparing for specialty beans

The Heritage Co-op branch at Arlington, Ohio will be the only elevator in the country this fall accepting Monsanto’s Vistive Gold soybeans. Branch manager Chuck Swinehart says an upgrade at the facility will help.

“We’ve got roughly 3,400 acres coming in here<” Swinehart said. “We had the Vistive program in the past, but this is new, we’re hoping everything works smooth for the customer, we’re trying to upgrade everything to make it a little bit faster and make this a smooth transition even though it is very strict identity preserved program.”

Swinehart says the weather has cooperated during the facility upgrade which should be completed by mid-June.
