having the facility be
profitable and successful.
“We’re disappointed that
the plant hasn’t opened
sooner, but we’re op
timistic,” Strode continued
in a telephone interview
Thursday afternoon. The
major problems surrounding
the delayed opening concern
the waste treatment plant. A
specialist from Purdue
University has been con
tacted to alleviate that
situation. Specifically, the
problem was having enough
of the beneficial bacteria
that are needed to process
the waste materials.
Despite the delay for full
use of facilities at Holly,
Strode is pleased that por
tions of the complex are in
use. His cooperative has
been using several of the
storage tanks as a collection
point for milk which is
subsequently shipped out on
tanker trucks to points West,
induding Ohio. He notes that
