Clarkston Grain Terminal Inc., a storage and barge-loading facility on the Snake River, has been sold to Lewis-Clark Terminal Association Inc.

Arvid Lyons, manager of Lewiston, Idaho-based Lewis-Clark Terminal, said Clarkston’s 500,000-bushel elevator and high-speed loading facility were acquired June 1, pending an environmental review.

Clarkston Grain was owned by United Grain Corp. in Vancouver, Wash. The facility is one of a handful of inland elevators that United is spinning off to concentrate on the export trade, Lyons said.

Lewis-Clark, a company owned by Harvest States Cooperatives and nine other grain elevator companies, plans to use the Clarkston facility to segregate grain by protein and other characteristics that may bring higher prices overseas, Lyons said.
