The November 8 ribbon-cutting and open house on Helm Fertilizer's expanded barge terminal at Helena, Ark., was a long time coming. The expansion more than doubles the length of its dock and the capacity of the terminal with added ability to offload and store fertilizer. Originally opened in 1995, Helm's Helena Harbor facility serves a roughly 100-mile-radius area. The facility supplies all the major farm retailers in its region with urea and other fertilizer. Since Helm bought the property in 2018, it has made significant improvements in capacity and ability to handle truckloads. It added a material handler and went from handling 60-80 truck-loads per day to handling up to 120 per day by 2020. On one record day in 2021, the terminal handled 196 trucks. |
