A much-heralded Central Kentucky agri-industry that would have hired about 100 employees and paid area farmers to grow possible new crops is now on hold.

Based in nearby Nicholasville, Alltech had just learned it qualified for a $30 million matching grant from the U.S. Department of Energy and $8 million in Kentucky state tax incentives.
