Officials from Farm Bureau and United Producers have been faced with finding a site for the facility ever since the Bourbon Stockyards in Louisville closed approximately one year ago. The new facility will service producers in southern Indiana as well as producers in Kentucky and Ohio. If the money is raised, construction on the 51,000 square foot facility is set to begin on April 1 in Little York, located off of Highway 39. Officials signed an option on the property on March 2. Corya stressed to the producers that their money was safe and would only be used for the facility.
