Farmers Coop had looked at hoop buildings for quite a few years, but didn’t pull the trigger on any of them. However, after receiving their soils report back for a project they were considering at Reynolds, they realized that building upright storage was just not feasible due to the incredibly low soil bearing pressure. One of the huge advantages of a Macon hoop building is the ability to be cost-effectively redesigned to accommodate poor soil conditions. The end result is they now have 2 million bushels of permanent space for a very competitive price.
