Covington, Tenn.-Tennessee Farmers Cooperative (TFC) expects to have its new fertilizer storage facility up and running by the end of June at its Tipton Farmers Cooperative north of Covington. The facility is expected to hold 12,000 st, and includes a blending plant. Other parts of the new state-of-the-art crops center began operations in mid-February, including a 60 x 120 foot chemical storage building, 100 x 180 foot seed storage building, and a 48 x 60 foot office building. In the meantime, at the former Tipton Farmers Covington location, TFC has opened its second Stockdale’s: America’s Rural Outfitter. This is TFC’s new concept store, branching out to provide more diverse and expanded product offerings. TFC’s first Stockdale’s debuted near Chattanooga late last year (GM Jan. 29, 2007).
