Lechuguilla processing plant opens in Joliet county area
Intermediates Inc, formed by five young men, opens a Joliet plant to process lechuguilla for drugs and fibers. Dr. Barton Warnock of Sul Ross State College notes potential drug yields from .1 to 5 percent and a target fiber for firms like Fuller Brush Co. Ranchers may gain by removing the plant, while freight and processing costs influence profitability. The plant has received six carloads from Alpine and two from Kent as Warnock researchers pursue chemical extraction from yucca and Spanish dagger alongside lechuguilla.
