Viterra has broken ground on a new grain facility in Dalhart, Texas, marking a significant expansion of its operations in West Texas.
The state-of-the-art facility will feature an advanced grain handling system and a loop track served by Union Pacific Railroad. The project, set for completion in mid-2026, is expected to bring substantial benefits to Dalhart and the surrounding area.
Rayner Freyberg, CEO US & Mexico for Viterra, emphasized the project's importance, stating, "Today's groundbreaking signifies a significant step in enhancing Viterra's ability to serve the West Texas region and builds momentum toward a stronger network."
The ceremony was attended by local community leaders, Union Pacific representatives, and Viterra employees, who were given a tour of the site.
Jason Hess, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Union Pacific Railroad, highlighted the partnership's significance. "Union Pacific appreciates and values the relationship we have with Viterra to provide safe and reliable service to this growing agricultural market for years to come," he said.
Union Pacific is investing more than $10 million daily in infrastructure, technology, and network expansion to support projects like this one.
