Canton River Terminal Update

We continue to work towards building a river terminal in Canton, Missouri. We have gathered an impressive team of people to help this project along.

Projects Manager, Jim UpChurch from Canton. Jim is our person on the ground working all areas of the project. He is very skilled in working with officials regarding the permits needed from the Corp of Engineers, Rail Road, environmental groups community officials and many other people related to this project.

Bill Smith the Lewis County IDA director has been key in helping develop the property and river area we need to develop this project. His willingness to support this project has been key and will remain very important as the project moves forward.

Outside Consultant, Roger Dowdy from southern Illinois is acting our our outside council. Roger recently retired from CGB as the projects manager for the past 28 years. Roger helped develop projects within their river system of which 8 greenfield sites were built and many others updated to meet the needs of todays agriculture. His understanding of what to do and what not to do is very important as we design the elevator and river site for barge loadings. His experience with the R.R. and Corp of engineers will also help us as we seek those necessary permits.

Although we are not today confirming a build, we are very confident we will be successful in our quest to have a facility in Missouri.

Safe plantings,

Gerald Jenkins
