WE BUY AG PROCESSING WIRE IN GRAFTON, ND
The beet harvest sets a deadline in Grafton, and deadlines are what create spare material. Wire ordered to finish a plant repair before the trucks arrive does not get returned when the repair finishes early. A line change does the same thing, leaving a rack of half-used cable behind and a maintenance file that says the job is finished.
Ag processing leaves a particular kind of surplus: cable rated for wet conditions, control cable from a line change, and motor leads in sizes that only show up around conveyors and pumps. Sellers in Grafton send us those take-offs, plus the grain and potato side, which looks more like ordinary farm wiring.
Process plant and washdown circuits
In a wet plant, the jacket rating is the first question. SOOW cord, tray cable rated for exposure, and cable with a nylon or thermoplastic jacket all behave differently after a season of washdown. Read the print and tell us what it says. A jacket printed with both a temperature rating and a wet-location rating is telling you two separate things, and both are worth passing along.
Then the ends. Cable that has been in service will have cut or re-terminated ends, and the last foot is usually the worst foot. Photograph one end close up and we can judge the jacket condition without a visit.
Grain, potato and field equipment wiring
Grain and potato work is 480V and hard use. Feeder in #6 and #4, motor leads, and control cable running to a starter that gets replaced every few years. Most of it comes off in coils rather than on reels. Leads cut at a starter are short by nature, and short leads are only useful to somebody doing the same repair on the same equipment.
Label the coils by size and keep the control cable separate. A box of mixed THHN and a box of control cable are two different items, and separating them before pickup is the single thing that speeds up a review the most. Field equipment adds portable cord and connectors, which are worth collecting on their own rather than mixing into the building wire pile.

Loading and freight from Grafton
Grafton connects to I-29 by ND-17, which puts a trailer on the interstate in a few minutes. Plant material ships LTL on pallets, farm material ships on a skid or in a crate. Say whether the pickup is at a plant dock or a farmyard, because the two need different trailers.
