Local Industries Back To Business
The end of the railroad strike comes as kaolin clay and chicken feed producers in the area resume operations. James Marvin of JM Huber Corp says 50 percent of kaolin is shipped by rail and is optimistic the strike was short. Amick’s Farms Feed Mill in Moneta prepared 45 days for the strike but faces nutrient shortages. Charles Toad says the mill can survive up to seven days without rail, then must switch to trucks. Union Camp in Eastover, a paper processing facility, expects operations to halt three to five days after rail service stops at Batesburg Woodyard in Woodlands.
