The new owner plans to keep the employees and sell and store more locally produced wheat, corn, and beans.
“For the farm community and this valley, there’s not a lot of infrastructure in place anymore, and if this facility would’ve closed, many farmers would not have had a place to store or dry or sell their grain and cash crops, too,” said Michael Pechart, chief operating officer of the Masser family of companies.
Lykens Valley Grain does up to $20 million in business each year.
