Working with farmers from Fort Benton to Valier, Horton
and his crew pay homage to Cargill's Montana past as well
as provide examples of how sustainability drives all they do
from field to office.
e grainery-esque outline on Highway 87 is hard to
miss. Ian Schuff, of alm2s served as the architect. He says,
"rough research, we found a photo of a 1920s grainery
building. at was the start of this design."
Horton adds, "We wanted to simulate that old-school feel
of pulling your grain truck into the elevator, dumping it into
the grain pit and watching as the leg took the grain up."
Tabacco Construction of Great Falls was tasked with
bringing the idea to life. Schuff says he toured several
Tabacco projects prior to working with them. "You could
tell there was a lot of pride in the work they do. ings were
well detailed and well built. Plus, they have a long history in
Great Falls and have great relationships with
key subcontractors."
The lobby also contains a photo history along
with old grain scales, a cleaner, and a bag scale.
"Today it's all robotics, stacking, and palletizing…
but this is how it used to be," says Horton.
The training room boasts drop microphones,
speakers, video capability, a full prep kitchen,
and tables on wheels for easy reconfiguration.
