The Rundown
Hull Coop is a farmer-owned supply cooperative in Hull, Iowa that began as a grain elevator in 1908 by a group of local farmers who saw a need within their rural community. Hull Coop has continued to expand over the years, and due to business growth and capacity, they needed a new bulk fertilizer storage facility.
