April 19, 2010 To support future growth in the Eastern U.S., and strengthen its manufacturing capability across the country, Agro-Culture Liquid Fertilizers plans to build its flagship, state-of-the-art, manufacturing and distribution facility in Ashley, MI. The 50,400-square-foot facility will be the company’s largest with manufacturing, truck loading, and distribution offices all under one roof.
The location also provides rail service not available at its current Michigan production plant. Additional outside storage will be added to facilitate this growth and an expansion of the existing rail track is planned. Fertilizer production is set to begin at the new plant in the fall of 2011. Administrative offices and Corporate Headquarters will remain in Saint Johns, MI.

With a sales force of more than 120, active in 36 states as well as internationally in Canada, Mexico, and Belize; sales growth has been dramatic.
