In a statement, Jefferson County-based Perry Milling says it's acquiring Blair Feeds & Elevator, which closed its Atchison doors in April. The Atchison business was established in 1867 as a flour mill.
The Perry, Kansas company says the acquisition strengthens its manufacturing, grain handling, and distribution capabilities, and expands its ability to serve livestock producers across Kansas.
Facility improvements are expected to begin shortly, focused on operational efficiency, production capacity, and preparing the site for future growth. Because of those upgrades, the Atchison facility will not reopen immediately, with the company to make that public once determined.
The company also says the site's grain elevator infrastructure will help strengthen local grain procurement and support feed production across its network.
