Blue Flint is an ethanol plant. They take in corn, make it into ethanol and they also ship out dried distillers grain, which is a by-product that is used as feed for swine, poultry and beef.
Our Freight Solutions trucks haul corn into and dried distillers out of this location often.

In harvest news, the guys took the combines out to try some soybeans today but they are still not ready. They will try again in a couple days.
