Pearl River
The Pearl River arrived at the Port of Blencoe on October 27th, 2020. Pearl River was once used by NASA to carry space shuttle engines for the Saturn 5 Rocket. Pearl River also aided in the recovery efforts of the Challenger.

The fertilizer shed located at the Port of Blencoe stores fertilizer for both wholesale and retail distribution.
The dry fertilizer is transported off the barge to the shed via three different conveyors. The 170'x340' building, constructed by Greenfield Contractors, has the capacity to hold 20,000 ton of product.

Additions to Port of Blencoe
The roadway to the Port of Blencoe was paved in 2022.
We will continue to develop the port area by constructing a scale and office facility, a new commodity building located south of the fertilizer shed to assist with loading.
We look forward to developing new business opportunities that will utilize the 38 acres Port of Blencoe resides on.
