Iowa US Senator Joni Ernst visited Sully Friday morning (7/17) as part of her annual 99 County tour.  Ernst visited the Sully Locker and Market to meet owners Rick and Cheryl Nikkel, who recently bought the business.  The Senator says the Nikkels did so at a time when many in Iowa’s food industry are bringing their livestock to smaller processors.

“We have seen big major packers suffer through COVID and get backed up, forcing more local folks to bring their meat or their livestock into the meat locker.  They have taken a whole lot of responsibility in the community, but it will be successful, even with those challengers.”
