CATO, N.Y. — The Cayuga Economic Development Agency will use more than $79,000 in federal funding to purchase grain drying and cleaning equipment and lease it to Preferred Quality Grain in the town of Cato.
The funding will help create two new jobs, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.) and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D–N.Y.) said in a Monday news release.
The demand for organic grains produced in this region is “rapidly expanding,” and the equipment will help remove the weed seeds and other dockage components that “harm the products’ marketability,” per the release. Dockage is waste material in wheat and other grains.
