Golden Sun Feeds items

[muddy]

Anybody remember the big orange sun feed mill from back in the day? My dad was the plant manager in Maquoketa for years and years and I sort of have a minor collection of GoldenSun items, and am looking for more junk. If you happen to have hats, belt buckles, coffee cups, etc and you're open to getting rid of them post here or send me a PM. Thanks.

Muddy do you want this cup? This is the only item I have from Golden Sun Feeds.

Yeah man, thats awesome. I remember going into the feed mill, as a kid, and seeing these on the secretaries desks! The guys wouldnt use them as they were "too cute"!

Send a PM with your address. I found it about a week ago and remembered your post way back when

Not sure how much you want to pay but check out ebay too, there are some pretty cool things on there from Golden Sun

What a blast from the past! When I was 8, a friend of the family was a Golden Sun rep and operated a feed grinding truck. I rode with him during a summer as he went around the area custom grinding for farmers. Used to have all kinds of hats and stuff, but slowly divested of it as things wore out. Good luck on your search.

I saw all the stuff on eBay, but I try not to get on there because I don't know when to say when with the credit card. You've missed my birthday the past eight years, how about a little help?

I remember that as well. When my dad was plant superintendent in Maquoketa I got to do all sorts of that fun stuff. Got to go back into the mill and watch them bag grain, help them run the skid loaders onto the trucks, honk all the semi horns! Really was a cool operation while it was going.

There was a plant also in Grinnell that could be seen from the interstate 80.

LoL I won't hold my breath, but the whiskey glasses I've been staring at for 4 years!

Hard horn of either of the big ones yet?

Brings back memories. My Dad was a salesman. Checked farmers feeders for them and even got in a few cutting pigs parties.

My father-in-law was elevator manager in Ringsted for years. We fed our golden retriever Golden Sun Hi-Pro and had orange dog bowls, feed scoop, and all kinds of sweat shirts, mugs, knives, caps, etc. Don't think I have any of it left.

I have a few stocking hats, they're the warmest things I've ever worn. Only have 1 cap left. Wish I had more of the real glass glasses.
