Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Inc; Houston, Texas). Bush Hog LLC (Selma, Tenn.) began construction this spring of a grassroot manufacturing plant in Jonesborough, Tennessee to produce front-end loaders. When completed in the first quarter of 2002, production at the current plant in Great Bend, Kansas will cease and portions of the production equipment are planned for relocation to the new plant in Tennessee.

The new Plant will occupy a new 300,000 square foot building and employ approximately 350 people and future expansion plans are already being considered. Bush Hog LLC is a leading producer of commercial and agricultural machinery in North America.
