King Milling 


I didn't realize there was so much wheat farming in Michigan.

Bob Summers: State or Providence please
The $47m expansion increases the total capacity to over 2.5m pounds a day.

It looks like it was already a big mill, https://maps.app.goo.gl/ebrVqv5xxTPATXs59

Obviously, it has rail service. The railroad was the Grand Trunk, but it is now the Mid-Michigan Railroad. There is a conveyor over the railroad, but it is not a Class I railroad.
