Proud to partner with BNSF Railway to serve one of the largest feed markets in the U.S. Our Stratford, Texas unit train receiver helps us unload railcars efficiently and maintain steady service to dairies, feedyards and hog producers across West Texas. Thanks to the Stratford team for setting the standard high, and to the BNSF for being a great partner to our customers and communities.Where markets “moooove” and grow, so does the need for freight transportation. As one of the largest feed markets in the U.S., West Texas relies on BNSF to serve those needs, and we’re feeding off our proven success there to grow with a major provider.

JDH specializes in providing feed, grain and other commodities to dairies, feedyards, other livestock producers and aquaculture businesses. A key asset in serving the region is a new $60 million state-of-the-art unit train receiver facility right next to our rail network in the heart of cattle country in Stratford, Texas.

Located north of Amarillo and on 500 acres with a double loop track, this BNSF-served facility is built to efficiently unload railcars and keep product flowing to local dairies, feedlots and hog producers. In a region with some 10 million head of livestock, speed and reliability matter, and this site delivers both.

This year’s harvest is well underway, and as we move closer to the final stretch, we’re grateful for the farmers putting in the extra hours, navigating weather, long days and every challenge in between. 🚜

Wishing everyone a safe, successful finish to the season and steady progress in the fields.🌾

Special thanks to our Hawkeye Gold team for sharing these photos, featuring harvest and unloading scenes from the Hawkeye Gold transload facility in Reddick, Illinois, owned by Blair Grain.

The ribbon has officially been cut on our grain handling facility in Stratford, Texas! 🎉✂️🌽🚂

While operations have been underway for a few months, it was incredibly rewarding to celebrate this milestone with so many people and mark a proud moment in JDH’s 139-year history.

We’re grateful to everyone who took time out of their day to make this event so special. A full thank-you will follow in a later post, but for now we’d like to give special appreciation to our partners at BNSF Railway, Mid-States Companies and Knobelsdorff, local elected officials, our customers, producers and suppliers, the Stratford community and our JDH team—especially our Stratford crew. Their pride in this facility shines through, and they did an outstanding job preparing it for this memorable day. We look forward to continuing to serve our customers and the community of Sherman County.

Giving back.

We focus our charitable donations and volunteering within the communities where we live and work. Each subsidiary company has a giving committee that works together to decide where our funds can make the biggest impact.

 

Having fun while working hard.

Working together safely as a team means knowing and trusting the people around you. Every location is a little different, but we all value time spent together with annual parties, company outings and other fun activities.
