Sunflower Plant to Close as Badger Wins Propellant Bid
Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant near DeSoto will close to standby status on July 1 as the Badger plant near Baraboo Wisconsin continues operations for at least one more fiscal year. Olin Inc won the contract by bidding about 10 percent lower than Hercules Inc, with 100000 grams produced at Badger and none at Sunflower. The move follows Navy and Air Force demand declines and worker reductions at Sunflower.
