LCF - Agri-Business

Cattle and Lumber Production






LCF - Agri-Business is made up of three internal units. First, nearly 1,100 acres are leased to the private sector for crop production on a three-year cycle. The revenue from that venture has helped to fund the division, while its second unit, cattle production, was expanded. Currently, KCI uses inmate workers to provide necessary support for the operation of a 450-head cattle ranch, where each year selected yearlings are culled from the heard and sold at market to help support the final phase of the unit's growth, the growing and harvesting of timber on LCF grounds. This three-prong approach will help maintain the operation's viability through changes in market conditions.
