Why crawfordville?
There was an abundant amount of thought and strategizing that went into choosing Crawfordville for our new feed mill – one of the most exciting things about the location chosen is the amount of opportunity for growth. There is a lot of space to build new houses, and there will be an increase in agricultural jobs created for Taliaferro County. We look forward to being able to expand our HPI family in this area.
