Jimmy and Michael Hill, Tull Hill Farms, Kinston, North Carolina The Hill family was ready to pay cash for a new 80,000 square foot storage facility for Tull Hill Farms. They changed their mind when Telmark explained how much they could save by leasing the facility instead. Their sharp management decision saved profits by adding to the bottom line with a Telmark operating lease They also have a buyout option at the end of the lease term, The Hill family found the tax breaks, end-of-term buyout option, and flexible payment plan so attractive, they leased the complete facility.
