Delta Grain expanding operations in Leflore County, MS

Jackson, Miss. (Oct. 27, 2025) – Grain elevator and merchandiser Delta Grain is expanding its operations in Sidon. The project represents a corporate investment of $3.76 million.

The expansion involves the construction of a ground pile and conveyance system, which will add 2.15 million bushels of new capacity to enhance logistical efficiencies for farmer delivery processing. The project addresses a growing demand for capacity while improving the company’s ability to serve regional customers.

In 2024, Delta Grain invested $6 million in a solar panel array and a new 10,000-bushel-per-hour Brock dryer at its Sidon location.

The Mississippi Development Authority is providing assistance through the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive, or MFLEX, program. The Greenwood-Leflore-Carroll Economic Development Foundation is assisting with the project, as well.

Delta Grain expects to complete its latest expansion by the end of October.
