The weather, holidays, and tragedies can impact the @WillYouGive blood inventory. There is an urgent and critical need in our region for blood. Today, we hosted a drive for our employees @Corp_McB, @BushConstruct, @McCarthyImprove, @OertelMetal, @ClintonEnCo, @LinwoodMining
Today we wished Mike Almandinger the best after 47 years of service to Linwood. We planned a grand send-off for a wonderful employee!

Technology plays a significant role in our daily operations. @JohnDeere paid our mine a visit to discuss our use of the 944 Hybrid Loader. Watch youtu.be/EFjhTf4S9Ww or read bit.ly/370DZrj about our story!
Aggregates must be properly sized, cleaned and free from other matter. This is essential so the byproduct is the desired strength and efficiency. We process a variety of different aggregates for different uses so we have several processing systems and stockpile in separate areas.
Scallops precipitate calcium carbonate from seawater to serve as a protective shell. Their two-piece outer shell can be opened to allow the scallop to feed and closed to give protection. Later, this shell debris is destined to become limestone.
Limestone is a very common sedimentary rock consisting of more than 50% calcium carbonate. Its origins can be traced back to either chemical or biochemical processes that occurred in the geological past, often tens to hundreds of millions of years ago.sciencelearn.org.nz/resource…
Magnesium Oxide is produced from dolomitic limestone that is calcinated in a rotary kiln. It can be found in blushes, eye shadows and facial powder as both an active ingredient, that enhances the look and feel of the skin, and an additive, that improves the quality of a formula.
Minerals are everywhere and it’s incredible when we begin digging, what we can learn about the Earth. cbsnews.com/news/rare-earth-…
According to @RiverAction, the rocks exposed in the Davenport area are part of the Pinicon Ridge Formation, a layer of limestone that is extensive in Eastern IA. This layer was deposited during the Devonian Period of geologic time, between ~380 and 370 million years ago.

In the winter, our sister company, @LinwoodMining, experiences product freezing & compacting into small builders. To break it up, they use skid loads to drop the boulders onto large grates (pictured) which breaks them up & lets smaller pieces fall through. #CustomFabrication
Antacids neutralize (reduce) excess stomach acid to relieve heartburn, sour stomach, acid indigestion, and upset stomachs. Calcium Carbonate is an active ingredient in heartburn medication and it is essentially an ingredient mined from Limestone.
Livestock can increase their performance when they ingest limestone. @LinwoodMining's Hi-Calcium limestone, used as feed granules for pet food companies, is 90% + calcium carbonate. Chickens get limestone in their feed to enrich their diet & cows so they produce more milk.

Our culture is the foundation of our organization and celebrations at @Corp_McB add a level of enjoyment to our workplace atmosphere.
Families can discover gemstones, minerals, and fossils from around the world at the @PutnamMuseum permanent mining exhibit.
We had the opportunity to combine our knowledge and skills with our sister company, @OertelMetal. Oertel delivers a variety of common and out-of-the-ordinary projects made of metal and for @LinwoodMining, they fabricated our replacement kiln exhaust duct section.
We had the pleasure of fabricating our sister company, @LinwoodMining's replacement kiln exhaust duct section. Measuring 4 ft. in diameter and 35 ft. long, our team spent about a week and a half rolling and welding the A36 steel.
The Buffalo community plays an important role in every aspect of our lives and we are very proud of the kind hearts, like our Procurement/Office Manager, Katie Eckstein, that work at @LinwoodMining.
