Scoular announced this week the acquisition of Circle S Seeds-Grains’ grain handling facility in Logan, Montana, which it says will extend its Montana trade footprint and expand market opportunities for local producers.

The Logan facility has a storage capacity of 400,000 bushels. It will handle local red spring and red winter wheat, in addition to feed barley.

Scoular also operates a facility in Butte, Montana, about 60 miles west of Logan.

“Our merchandisers and elevator crew in Butte have built strong relationships with producers and customers throughout the region,” said Scoular Regional Manager Brian Ring. “We look forward to creating new relationships and to building off the thriving business and local marketing solutions provided by generations of the McDonnell family and their Circle S employees.”

Employing 1,400 people in more than 100 offices and facilities in North America and Asia, the company provides solutions to farmers, grain processors, renewable energy producers and manufacturers of animal feed, aquafeed and pet food as well as food, beverages and supplements. The company is headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska.
