Built in 1989 as the Red River Confection Sunflower Processing Plant, this 10.2± acre facility on Interstate 70 in northwest Kansas offers three opportunities. (1) Step-in turnkey and continue cleaning, sorting, packaging, and warehousing confection sunflowers — equipment, layout, and operating history in place. (2) Repurpose the processing building for specialty grains and oilseeds (millet, flax, milo, safflower, buckwheat, quinoa, hemp), pulses (lentils, chickpeas, dry peas, edible beans), pedigreed and cover crop seed, or premium birdseed and pet food. Equipment was purpose-built for confection sunflower and would need modification for other crops, but segregated bins and a single-product bagging line make the facility a strong fit for organic, non-GMO, kosher, or identity-preserved operations. (3) Use the real estate as standalone commodity storage, warehouse, and distribution, ideal for grain merchandising, ag input distribution, custom feed, or 3PL on the I-70 corridor.
