(Cass Co) The Cass County Board of Supervisors approved Landus’ proposal to add a 90,000 gallon NH3 tank, pending approval by the Board of Adjustment.
As part of Landus’ ongoing effort to better serve their farm owner’s in Cass County and surrounding area, Landus has recognized a shortfall in storage space for anhydrous ammonia at the newly constructed facility south of the Landus Facility at 53597 650th Street, formerly Wickman Chemical. The newly constructed NH3 facility has a 72,000 gallon NH3 tank positioned just west of the Landus building at 53751 650th Street.
Kasey Harken, with Landus, said IDALS has already inspected the site and has no issues with adding the additional tank.
