WILLMAR — NexYst 360 is the newest addition to the Willmar Industrial Park and the first tenant for the Willmar Rail Park. Its equipment and technology offer a farm-to-processing supply chain system for agricultural products.
The Willmar Rail Park is a 144-acre rail park being developed by Midwest and Bluegrass Rail. It will have a rail loop that comes off the Willmar Wye, with four spurs going into the park to accommodate different businesses.

“We have a nice model to be able to bring higher quality and delivery and open a global marketplace, because by putting it into these boxes, a farmer can access the global market — they’re not dependent on all the infrastructure between the field and customer,” said NexYst 360 ag industry advisor Dennis Pap during a June 19 field day showcasing its equipment and technology in Willmar.
