GLASGOW, Ky. (WBKO) — The Barren County Fiscal Court has entered an agreement with Blumberg Grain and Logistics to develop new grain storage infrastructure aimed at supporting local farmers. Judge/Executive Jamie Byrd announced the project this week, saying it will help address the lack of storage options for corn and other grains grown in the region.

Blumberg-Codell, a joint venture between Blumberg Grain and Logistics and Codell Construction Company, has been selected by the Barren River Agriculture County Coalition during its first meeting.

The Barren County Fiscal Court has formalized an agreement with Blumberg Grain and Logistics to design and build grain storage facilities to serve the county's farming community. The initiative addresses a longstanding challenge: limited local storage capacity combined with surging transport expenses has eroded farm profitability.

Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli said that the government will fully support Blumberg Grain and ensure all necessary procedures are streamlined to expedite the implementation of the company’s planned projects in Egypt.
