Jordan, NY: Central New York Feeds

(Satellite)

Street View, Apr 2023

They get rail service, but it looks like a small cut of cars.

Just about an hour after I published about a big feed mill in Oneonta, NY, I came across this post.
Ray Arnott Jr. posted eight photos with the comment: "Central New York Feeds - Jordan, New York - August 21, 2024."
Ray Arnott Jr.: I’m surely no expert, but am I seeing this right - are they loading rail cars here too? If so, where are they shipping them to?
Kevin J. Tully: Ray Arnott Jr. Likely just about anywhere that sells bagged feed. We have big feed mills out here too. Lots of cattle ranchers, hog farmers, giant chicken farms, dairy farms, horses. Big business. Those big corporate farms with 10,000 head of dairy cow or 100,000 chickens. They store the feed in bins, rather than bagged. Rail-truck-bin.
Michael Wood: Started out as a much smaller captive operation in 1990 for Plainville Turkey Farms, it’s amazing to see the growth of this feed mill facility which now produces dairy feeds. I see they added some new additional spur trackage fairly recently.
