Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--South Dakota Oilseed Processors LLC's (Miller, South Dakota) soybean crushing facility six miles east of Miller in Hand County is on schedule to become operational this fall. The company held a ceremonial groundbreaking for the $20 million facility last December and began pouring concrete this spring. Despite weather delays, the project is back on track for startup in the fourth quarter of this year. The facility's structure is taking shape and the company is currently receiving and erecting processing equipment from the U.S. and Europe.

Nelson Engineering and Construction (Sioux City, Iowa) is the general contractor, and Crown Iron Works Company (Minneapolis, Minnesota) is the primary contractor for the equipment installation.

The new plant is designed to crush 375 tons of soybeans per day and will produce 95,500 tons of soybean meal and 41 million pounds of soybean oil from 4.1 million bushels of soybeans annually.
