Kimball International says it plans to sell off about 27,000 acres of forest and agricultural land in Indiana and Kentucky.

Kimball officials say the land is no longer needed for the Jasper based company's manufacturing operations.

The properties near Sturgis and between Bedford and the Ohio River will be sold through auctions in November.

Kimball began acquiring land in 1963 so it would have a reserve of wood. Kimball is now an electronics and furniture manufacturer.

The company stopped making its Kimball brand of pianos in 1996.
