KELLY LIMESTONE

Kelly Limestone LLC continues the tradition of producing quality calcium products that Kelly Lime & Rock Co., Inc. started in 1959. Richard B. Kelly and Cora C. Kelly founded the company in August of 1959. They produced agricultural lime and aggregate stone for construction. Richard B. Kelly, a WW II vet, understood the use of agricultural lime in his father's farming business. Due to the decreased demand in agricultural limestone sales on a local basis, agricultural lime demands fell drastically in the mid 1980's when CRP came into play and many acres were taken out of production. This led to expansion into different markets of limestone sales. Richard Kelly had the insight to build a pelletizing plant to produce a number of different calcium related products. This project was expensive, time consuming and not profitable at the time. It did pay off over time and has allowed Kelly's to develop business nationally and internationally.
