Buyers and Haulers of Livestock and Grain LJGSA Approved Warehouse Duffy Bros., Inc. — Duffy Livestock, Inc. P.O. Box 250 Columbus, Wisconsin 53925 . . . . Phone 414-623-4160 — Fax 414-623-4199 TO: DANE COUNTY ZONING ATTN: STEVE REYNOLDS Duffy Bros. , Inc. is requesting a change in the 2 acres of Statz property and approximately 30 acres of Krebs property. It would be to establish a rail load out for grain that would serve farmers within parts of Dane, Columbia, and Dodge Counties. The Statz acreage would serve as a road into the Krebs property, plus provide space for railroad siding. The load out would be constructed on the Krebs land and would consist of at lease one and probably two bins--capacity 85,000 bushels--42 foot diameter that would serve to handle grain being delivered and that would supply continuous loading of rail cars during load out. Also, a truck scale would be installed, along with two truck dumps or unload pits from which a high capacity auger would direct the grain to a high speed grain leg that would fill the bins. Unloading of the bins would be partially accomplished by gravity feed back into the same leg which would then load rail cars from above as they pass the loadout. Our original plans will involve loading 27 car units but space such as rail siding will allow us to load 54 car units if the need arises. Future development might include additional storage bins to handle fall harvest and possibly a grain dryer if the need arises. Presently, we have a 1.25 million bushel elevator with dryer in Columbus, so initially any grain drying would be done at that facility. The primary purpose of the new facility will be to attract farm stored grain as farmers sell it. Possible future plans could include bringing in bulk materials by rail, such as fertilizer or feed ingredients to this location that could then be distributed by truck into the local area.
