"The southeast region is the single biggest growth opportunity for our Purina animal nutrition business," said Beth Ford, group executive vice president and chief operating officer, Land O'Lakes, Inc. "While the new facility is being constructed, we will serve our important current and future customers from product made at our existing facilities and distributed through warehouses at Virginia and Kentucky."
Land O'Lakes had entered into a Letter of Intent to purchase the feed assets of Southern States Cooperative in November 2016, but the company is looking to move more quickly in this strategic market than the discussions with Southern States Cooperative allowed according to Ford.
