By: A fire broke out at a Cargill soybean processing plant in Wichita, Kansas, late on Monday but the extent of damage to the facility was not immediately known, Reuters reported, citing the company.
Firefighters were onsite and have been working with Cargill to contain the fire, the company said in an email to Reuters. There were no injuries in the blaze.
Cargill did not provide further details about operations at the plant.
The processing plant, which industry sources said has the capacity to crush about 105,000 bushels of soybeans into meal and oil every day, was not receiving truck deliveries of soybeans on Tuesday, according to a post on Cargill's website.
