Are you tired of the dust kicked up by the traffic on the gravel roads? Pro Cooperative can help! Our effective dust control application can be sprayed on gravel roads in most counties of our trade area. The biodegradable and eco-friendly product is typically applied twice in a year on the dusty gravel roads. If you have questions, please call the Pocahontas Elevator: 712-335-3575.
