green industry products. We have been servicing the West Michigan area for
over 20 years.
To help our businesses work more efficiently together there are a few things you
should know about us.
Michigan Turf & Ornamental is a division of Farmers Co-Op Elevator Inc. The main
advantage to you is that we offer patronage. Did you know that we pay approxi-
mately 2% or more of what members spent with us back to our members. We also
offer a wide variety of products that other green industry suppliers do not, such
as: bio-diesel fuel, bulk diesel, gasoline, oil, and other lubricants, bulk liquid fertiliz-
er, bulk granular fertilizer, bulk lime, feed, greenhouse supplies, and pet food.
A variety of delivery options are available. Deliveries can be made to you with a
pickup, a dump trailer for bulk deliveries, or with our piggy back fork-lift that fits on
the back of our 36 semi or our 48 semi-trailers (we need a 136 clearance to
avoid damaging roofs or wires). We also can arrange direct deliveries for you
using a variety of trucking companies that have leads, pups, 53 van trailers, or flat-
beds. Please call by 1:30 p.m. one or two days prior to delivery for our best
service.
