2012 has been designated the International Year of Co-operatives by the UN. This is the second of three videos featuring historic cooperatives in Minnesota. 

Added to the national register in 2004 the remains of the Saint Paul Municipal Grain Terminal (the head house and sack house) sits on piers over the Mississippi River in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It was built between 1927 and 1931 as part of the Equity Cooperative Exchange and is a remnant of Saint Paul's early history as a Mississippi River port city and  the farmers' cooperative movement of the 1920 and 30s.
