Southern States wins 2014 AFIA Feed Mill of the Year Award
Southern States Cooperative’s feed mill in Park City, Ky., has been named the winner of the 2014 American Feed Industry Association Feed Mill of the Year award.
The Park City Feed Mill manufactured and sold over 80,000 tons of feed last year. Built in 1977, the feed mill is primarily a dairy, cattle and poultry location serving western Kentucky.
Keith Epperson, vice president of operations for AFIA, presented the staff with the honor in an awards presentation at the plant.
“The feed mill of the year is kind of the gravy for what you guys have done day in and day out without fail to make sure that everything happens,” he told the crowd that gathered under a large blue tent outside the facility.
The Feed Mill of the Year award is cosponsored by AFIA and Feedstuffs magazine.
This marks the second win in three years for Southern States, and the fourth time in seven years the company has taken home the prestigious award. The company’s Vinton, Va. feed mill won the award in 2012.
The AFIA is the world’s largest trade associate representing the feed industry. Southern States Cooperative has grown to become one of the nation’s largest farm and agriculture supply companies. For more information, visit www.southernstates.com.
