Ardent Mills flour mill near Tampa escapes major damage from Milton, partially operational
By Karl Plume
CHICAGO, Oct 11 (Reuters) -Ardent Mills' Port Redwing flour mill near Tampa, Florida, "did not sustain any major damage" from Hurricane Milton and the facility was partially operating on Friday, said Troy Anderson, the company's vice president of operations.
"Port Redwing and most of the Tampa Bay area is still without power. We have a generator that is powering electricity to some areas of the plant and our facility is up and running at a reduced capacity," Anderson said in a statement.
The company is working to supply its customers, although area-wide power outages and scarce fuel supplies have posed some challenges, he added.
Hurricane Milton struck Florida's Gulf Coast on Wednesday as a Category 3, causing widespread wind damage and flooding and leaving millions without power. But the storm did not trigger the catastrophic surge of seawater that had been feared.
The Port Redwing mill, opened in 2022 on the eastern bank of Tampa Bay, can produce up to 1.8 million pounds (816,466 kg) of flour a day from imported grain or wheat grown in the Midwest and Southeast.
The hurricane-hardened facility, built with its first floor 12 feet (3.66 meters) above sea level, also escaped major flood damage from Hurricane Helene two weeks ago.
Ardent Mills is a joint venture between ConAgra Foods CAG.N, Cargill Inc and CHS Inc.
