Evansville crush plant awaits legislative action
Momentum is building for a soybean crush plant in Evansville after legislative leaders included a $4 million grant for the facility in the state budget.
The earmark has to survive votes by the Senate and Assembly today, as well as Gov. Jim Doyle’s veto pen, but one representative who pushed for the item said that shouldn’t be an issue.
“My understanding is it has bipartisan support on both sides of the Legislature, and Gov. Doyle supports it, as well,” said Rep. Brett Davis, R-Oregon.
The grant would help bring the first soybean crushing plant to the state. Wisconsin is the only state among the top 13 soybean producers without one.
