The Rundown
Northern Farmers Co-Op needed fertilizer storage that worked for them right now but also a building that could expand to meet future needs. We designed a building that did both. And with the changing nature of agriculture “You have to be at capacity to be able to handle that in today’s ag world,” said Brent Benike, Northern’s Manager. “Product has got to be on hand so you can get it out the door quickly.”
