Soil and Crop Nutrition
We understand that the health of your soil and the nutrition that is provided to your crops has a direct impact on yields come harvest time. We’re proud to be able to offer fertilizer options that will nourish your acres and be hassle free on your operations.
Our modern liquid fertilizer facility can hold 650 tons of fertilizer and load 1,000 gallons in under a few minutes. We also have expansive bulk and packaged chemical storage capabilities.
In addition, we have a state-of-the-art HIM Tower Blending System. The HIM Tower is a precision fertilizer blending system that is built around the HIM 2.0 Precision Blender by Sackett-Waconia. Compared to older blending systems, the HIM Tower provides the following:
- Speed – Our system is capable of mixing and loading a 24 ton fertilizer blend in as little as 10 minutes.
- Precision and Quality – The twin-rotor, shell-style design with overlapping paddles ensures all particles stay in motion and are distributed evenly across the batch. The system also promotes uniformity all the way from the blender to the field.
- Durability and Maintenance – the HIM Tower is built from heavy -duty stainless steel, oversized bearings, and direct-drive gears protecting this system from the corrosion and frequent wear that traditional systems experience minimizing downtime.
Getting your fertilizer from our Agronomy department will have you in, loaded, and back to the field with zero headache in no time at all.
