Some Kentucky farmers fight to keep a grain elevator operating is now in the hands of a judge, reports WHAS11.
Farmers have been in court hoping to get a temporary restraining order that would prevent any changes to the property along the Ohio River in Brandenburg, KY.
The moment comes months after controversy arose from the $1.3B deal struck to build a Nucor Steel plant on the site.
Thursday, a judge heard arguments from both sides about what the group of farmers called “immediate irreparable harm” that would come if CGB closed their facility Friday.
They announced in October that they would close on January 31 to make way for the Nucor deal.
Farmers argue that the deal was made illegally.
