About Us
Platinum Crush, a new first-in-class soybean crushing facility, is fully operational and crushing soybeans in Alta, Iowa. The plant successfully started-up on schedule in early May 2024 and will propel value-added agriculture forward in the communities of Northwest Iowa while building on its strong agricultural heritage. As a contributing member of the US soybean crushing industry, Platinum Crush will help meet the expanding global demand for protein and oils in the feed, food, and fuel markets, including animal nutrition, human nutrition, and renewable fuels. Crushing 115,000 bushels daily, we are a team of 60 colleagues extracting maximum value from locally-grown soybeans. With strong logistics, best-in-class efficiencies, and proximity to some of the largest feed mills in Iowa, we’re helping position Buena Vista County and surrounding areas into the center of the global food and fuel supply chain.
Soybean Bids/Offers
Platinum Crush will crush approximately 40 million bushels of soybeans annually (115,000 bushels per day) producing 875,000 tons of soybean meal per year (2,500 tons per day), 465 million pounds of crude soybean oil per year (650 tons per day), and 80,000 tons of pelleted soybean hulls per year (230 tons per day). The soybean meal and soy hulls (which contain highly digestible fiber) will be used in animal nutrition while the soybean oil can be used for a variety of applications, including the human nutrition and the rapidly expanding, renewable diesel bioenergy segment.
