CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - The University of Illinois says it will begin building a multi-million dollar feed mill to replace the one that's stood for more than 90 years.
Construction will begin Sept. 8 at the new site located at the U of I's South Farms in Urbana. Construction is expected to be completed in June of next year.
According to one estimate, the completed mill will produce about 16,000 tons of feed a year - or about 10,000 more tons than is produced for livestock and research by the feed mill that was built in 1927.
