At its June 16, 2014 meeting the Fillmore County Planning Commission approved a zoning change from AG-2 (agriculture) to I-2 (heavy industrial) on 3.01 acres to accommodate a Farmers Cooperative dry fertilizer plant.

Applicant Stan Mitchell (Farmers Cooperative) described the expansion of the current fertilizer plant; meeting minutes note the current owner, Paul Hassler, was selling the property to Farmers Cooperative. The motion to approve passed on roll call with Ayes recorded for Kassik, Waltrip, Most, Elznic and Harre (5–0 recorded in the minutes).
