FC's Terry Fliehler. 

Farmers Cooperative Company (Ames, Iowa), recently donated grain rescue tubes to the Aredale Fire Department. 

In addition to donating the rescue tubes FC led a safety training session to ensure that the firefighters, who usually are the first responders if an engulfment were to occur in the area, knew how to properly use the rescue tubes in the event of an emergency. 

We appreciate the opportunity to help and to work with our community firefighters, safety officers and first responders. Together We Can help ensure the next generation of farmers are here to feed the world.
