State wheat supply in demand
China's appetite for grain could be Northwest's gain

By BRAD WONG
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER

PASCO -- From U.S. Route 12, the Tri-Cities Grain terminal and its large stainless steel storage bins and mountain of wheat might seem like just another shipping facility near sagebrush and along the Snake River.

Long-haul trucks, filled with soft white wheat from the area, arch around Tank Farm Road to the terminal's loading pit. Wheat kernels drop from trailer bellies through metal grates and land on a covered conveyer belt. Later, they tumble from a spout into a grain barge that's about 25 feet deep and 275 feet long.
